host template with -

- cpu
- memory
- backplane usage

- interface

This *only* works for catOS switches

Exported with cacti 8.5a / PHP 4.3.2 and cactihistoric

Does this support multiple supervisors? Does it support portname?

Answered all my own questions. Note: Cisco Cactalyst switches with dual supervisors will not report interfaces properly using the standard Interface.xml file. I am looking at a custom Interface.xml file that will address not only the problem with incorrect Indexes, but will also provide PortName's.

Sorry for the bad news. Otherwise, great job!!!

Was an updated template that worked with dual supervisors ever posted somewhere?

It works with dual supervisors. My bad. However, when I attempted to integrate "PortNames" into the template, it did not work. Therefore, all is Ok for now. Portnames to come.

I've found that CatOS doesn't use ifIndex for getting port names, you need port number instead =(

http://cvs.netmrg.net/index.cgi/src/map ... pp?rev=1.7
See code near "// use CatOS port name in place of ifAlias"

News regarding Portnames on CatOS ?

#10 Post by **TheWitness** » Wed Mar 09, 2005 8:37 pm

There was a new feature released in 0.8.6c that will allow the creation of the PortName and Catalyst template. I just don't have time to write it.

Sorry,

I'll have to apogize in advance, i'm new to cacti and to this forum, but am very interested in getting this XML import to work. Could someone briefly detail just how to import this XML and what to do after it's imported? Sorry if this is a review.

has anyone gotten this going? i made a copy of my interfaces.xml and modified the ifindex to portname and changed the oid. when i use this and do a verbose query i see the the info correct. when i add the devices i get the interfaces and see the portnames however they don't match the actual port that they belong to. is there a fix for this?

thanks

If someone could give me pointers on setting this up, I would gladly make a XML file/template that would do this and upload it.

I can see that the portNames are under .1.3.6.1.4.1.9.5.1.4.1.1.4, but they appear to be indexed differently, using their interface numbers instead. So if one could somehow get the interface name, sub the /'s out for a dots, and then add that onto this OID, that would give you the portName. Not sure how/if this could be done, or if there is another way to do it.

Well, after poring over the documentation for a bit, I just don't see how it's possible to integrate this into a query that can get the traffic goodies out of the IF-MIB table. The indexes are different than the IF-MIC indexes, unfortunately, and aren't stored in the OID or anything.

Perhaps someone can think of something I'm missing!

When you walk .1.3.6.1.4.1.9.5.1.4.1.1.4 the switch returns the names for each port. The reason the indexs do not match up is that the switch uses slot and port for the index in .1.3.6.1.4.1.9.5.1.4.1.1.4.

Example:

.1.3.6.1.4.1.9.5.1.4.1.1.4.3.39 is the portname for slot 3 port 39.

Does this help? I hope someone can help create a template now so we can get these descriptions working!

Thanks,
