Cyclades Avocent and NPM

petebardak

I have several Avocent Cyclade console servers (ACS32,ACS6000) . In NPM, I'd like to monitor the serial connections via port name and up/down status. Does anyone know if this is possible? When NPM discovers these devices, it only detects the standard hostname and ethernet information. I'd like to also monitor all the tty ports.

Start here and grab the MIB for those devices:

Support | Software Downloads | Infrastructure Management | Avocent ACS 6000 Advanced Console Servers

Next, use your favorite SNMP browser, load said MIB, and do a walk. Does it give you information about those ports? I know the 6000 can send SNMP traps on serial down/up, so you may not need a special MIB to accomplish that.
