Cisco 3750 and 3560 stacks - can Orion monitor these ????????????

what gives with trying to use SNMP to these STACK switches?

why would they have configuration settings to enable SNMP if you can't poll them?

anybody found the solutions to monitor these with Solarwinds?

one more thing - if i traceroute to one of them why do they have one extra hop, which by the way is duplicated. this puts addtional overhead in response time. (built in latency - grrrrrr)

Thanks,

Yes, Orion can monitor these switches !!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

There are many reasons why the SNMP polling might be failing.

Is there a Firewall between the polling server and the switch?
Is there an ACL in the switch config allowing SNMP polling from only certain IPs (best practice for security).
Are the community strings setup correctly?

As for the extra hop, you can't blame that on Orion.

i already am monitoring some of these models but these particular ones giving me the grief happend to be in Stacks.

there is no firewall nor ACL involved here and strings are confirmed.

i realize the extra hop isn't a Solarwinds issue - but maybe someone in the Thwack World out there has seen this and had the experience.

I have lots of experience with these switches. I have over 100 3750s in stacks, and quite a few 3560s as well. All of which are being monitored with Orion. If you would be willing to post the configuration from one of the switches you're having an issue with (minus any sensitive information) I would be happy to look it over and point out any potential configuration errors that might explain the problems you're having.

....well - am i red faced?...duh

the SNMP string was passed on to me as lowercase, but it is actually inside the configurations as uppercase.

once i tried it uppercase it works great - problem solved - thanks for the replies..

cheers.

Hey...

What OID are you using to monitor the stacks on these?

Thanks

Do you get alerts when one member of the stack goes down? We don't with our current setup.
