Hi Experts,

I am a newbie in using cacti as a monitoring tool. Though, i have already installed in my pc running centos 5.2. My cacti version is 0.8.7e.

Could you please tell me the step by step procedure on how to monitor my switch's cpu usage? As of now im only monitoring its interface traffic.

I would really appreciate it if you will teach me..thanks

Is it a switch or a cisco 2600? Because that's a router...

Googling 'cisco 2600 cpu cacti' found this though.

2500 through 2800 series are routers
2900 series are switches

Anyway, the documentation - http://docs.cacti.net - walks you through graphing a device. That's why we wrote it.

Actually, I looked it up and there was indeed a 2600 switch too. That's why I stopped replying - never heard of such a beast.

Cisco devices tend to be generic in batches though, so I'd suggest trying Catalyst 29xx templates - you can't do any harm, they either work or don't.

Ah, old Catalyst. Completely forgot. You're right Howie, 29xx template should work.
