N00b questions

[ExtremePCs]

Hi all,

I've managed to get Cacti up and running well under Redhat 9. Just have a few quick questions:

I use Foundry FastIron switches, and I'm trying to monitor CPU usage along with bandwidth. The CPU chart always shows as "nan". I take it I need a different MIB or something because the Cisco or generic ones won't work? If so, how do I import it?

Also, for monitoring Gb fiber and copper ports on the Foundry equipment, do I need to use 64-bit counters?

BTW, this is a sweet program! 8-)

Thanks.

Just generate the CPU utilization with the generic SNMP OID template and use following MIB value:

1.3.6.1.4.1.1991.1.1.2.1.35.0

There's no need to install addtional mibs.

Using 64 bit counters for Gigabit Ethernet Ports is recommended.

Cool. Thanks a lot.

hey guys, I have been trying to create a graph for Foundry CPU usage.

Can you give me an easy How-to for this

I have tried to copy what the Cisco CPU 5min and just change the OID to what you have given. NO LUCK

Thanks for your help.

Do you have any templates you guys have created for foundry, seems to be hard to find any.

Thanks again for your help!!

I try to use cacti with my bigiron 4000 switches.

Thanks a lot.

I have not found any but here is the MIB/OIDs for foundry's equipment. Just got a hold on this so still trying to create some graphs. Will try to create some templates. Will let you know by next week. Please keep my informed if you find any others.

Thanks,
