Alcatel 7750-SR / 7450-ESS

[wz@multi.fi]

Anyone created templates for reading in/out traffic statistics and other relevant info from Alcatel 7750-SR / 7450-ESS ?

I have been searching the WHOLE internet without finding anything useful. Do I really have to start from scratch with own templates ?

Those two Alcatel devices use the standard SNMP Interface Statistics data query.

Just added this page to the template site:

Hrm, must have experienced some packetloss on the route from head to fingers.. My question was ment to be:

Anyone created templates for reading in/out traffic statistics and other relevant info from Alcatel 7750-SR / 7450-ESS sap/sdp/vprn/vpls/etc "interfaces" ?

Thanks for the cpu-usage template, that will also be very useful.

Ah....

I don't have anything built for those, but it does look interesting....

[wz@multi.fi]

Yes, and I guess many others think that it would be useful aswell, since you can only get stats from physical interfaces and IES ("global" L3) interfaces with the standard snmp-queries. All other services are within the 7710-MIBs, and for me it feels like a jungle to find the right OID's to get the whole picture.. =)

When I get some time, I'll see what I can put together....

Hi

Has anyone done this yet ?

[wz@multi.fi]

I got a comment from Alcatel some time ago, that the intention would be to use their SAM5620 to collect data, and then fetch the data (XML?) from the SAM and use your favourite graphing-tool (cacti) to draw graphs based on that data.

However I have not yet had time to put myself into this, so if anyone's got a nice example how to draw graphs from data in XML-file's......

[wz@multi.fi]

Really noone had enough motivation to make scripts for these platforms and types of interfaces ? =)

[yenoromp]

Anyone done any more work on this ?

Hi,
I am graphing quite a lots of graphs from Alcatel 7750 SR-7.
As "Linegod" said everything is working as standard SNMP enabled device with one exception, to graph vprn interfaces You'll need:
1) In Alcatel under "/configure service vprn %VPRN_NAME%" create "snmp-community version v2c %COMMUNITY%"
2) In CACTI create new device set IP the same one You used to graph ports and Base router staff, set "Downed Device Detection" to "PING" and use this new SNMP community %COMMUNITY%.

Unfortunately Alcatel is not providing SNMP OIDs for sap/vpls (at least i couldn't find it) so there is no possibility to create graphs for these...

Good luck.

Hi J.P. Pasnak. I have actually tried the script for graphing the CPU Utilization for ALU 7750 routers, but it's not working. I do not get any error when I import the template. However, on adding the template so as to get the graph for any particular router (and am using 7750 and 7705), it gives the error "Not being graphed". I am using cacti version 0.8.7g.

Those two Alcatel devices use the standard SNMP Interface Statistics data query.

Hi,
You need to click "Create Graphs for this Host" at the top of the page and select rows You need to graph.

Hey Levi,

I have already graphed several ports/interfaces. What I am actually trying to do is to graph the Router CPU utilization (not port traffic statistics). I ran the script for doing so that Pasnak had provided earlier, but it seems not to work on my cacti which is version 0.8.7g.

Hey guys. Do you know whether I may need to configure anything more on my Alcatel Lucent Routers apart from
*B:ALU1>config>system>security>snmp# info
----------------------------------------------
community "TTTTTTTTTTTTT" hash2 r version both
community "ttttttttttttttttttt" hash2 rwa version both
----------------------------------------------
*B:ALU1>config>system>security>snmp#

and


*B:ALU1# configure system snmp
*B:ALU1>config>system>snmp# info
----------------------------------------------
packet-size 9216
----------------------------------------------
*B:ALU1>config>system>snmp#

so that I am able to graph the CPU Utilization of the routers?

Somebody?
