3Com Switches 7750 and 3870 Temperature and Other Hardware Sensors

thething Apr 9, 2013 3:07 PM

Hello,

I hope you are all doing great. I have the above 3Com switches as a part of a PoC i'm doing for a customer. And getting hardware sensor information from the 3Com switches 7750 and 3870 would be a deciding factor in the purchase of the NPM solution, but it seems we cant get any. I have searched and found only one article describing how to get CPU and memory utilization per slot in the 7750 using universal device pollers (link here for reference). Any ideas how we can get hardware sensor information from the mentioned 3Com switches (e.g. chassis temperature, power supply temperature) please?

Thank you very much.

  Hi,
  
  our NPM poll couple of MIBs for HW health data. There is one - corporate MIB that is common for various HW vendors and provide info about chassis & sensors. It's called ENTITY-MIB SNMP MIB and what you need to do is validate if your 3com devices support such MIN (for example via SNMP browser tool).
  
  I can also recommend this page: Free MIB Download Search MIBs SNMP - Free MIB Download - OiDViEW IT Management Tools where you may select your 3Com vendor and check supported MIBs for OIDs that represent chassis and temperatures sensors. If you have a possibility to reach 3com, I would try that too since they may have this already documented.
  
  thanks
  Michal
