Cisco Switch
Introduction
The Cisco Switch Monitoring Observability (O11y) solution aims to provide detailed insights and comprehensive visibility into switch infrastructure, leveraging the Simple Network Management Protocol (SNMP).
Getting Started
Compatibility
Cisco Switch O11ySource supports SNMP versions v1, v2c, and v3.
Data Collection Method
vuSmartMaps collects Cisco Switch metrics through a data collector deployed within the vuSmartMaps platform, which uses SNMP to retrieve performance and health metrics. Note: SNMP Polling O11ySource must be enabled and configured before enabling the Cisco Switch O11ySource.
Prerequisites
Dependent Configuration
To configure this O11ySource, create a 'credential' of type 'snmp' under the 'Definition' tab.
Inputs for Configuring Data Source
- Group Name: This field is for grouping devices for SNMP polling, making it easier to manage devices with common characteristics or within the same network segment.
- No. Of Retries: Number of times the system should reattempt polling if the initial attempt fails. Default: 7 retries.
- Timeout Duration: Specify how long the system should wait for a response from a device before considering the attempt unsuccessful. Default: 5 seconds.
- Devices: Devices: Add one or more devices to poll via SNMP.
- Device IP: Enter the IP address of the device.
- SNMP Credential: Select the SNMP credential from the dropdown list that corresponds to this device.
- Vendor: Select the vendor of the device from the dropdown list
- Model: Select the model of the device from dropdown list.
- MIB Groups: MIB Groups: Select MIB groups to collect metrics from.
- MIB Group: Select the MIB Group to poll, identifying the MIB OID to collect. Default: 'ALL_SUPPORTED_MIB_GROUPS'.
- Interval: Specify the polling interval in seconds. Default: 360 seconds

Firewall Requirement
To collect data from this O11ySource, ensure the following ports are opened:
| Source IP | Destination IP | Destination Port | Protocol | Direction |
|---|---|---|---|---|
| vuSmartMaps Collection/Ingress node IP | IP address of the target device | 161 | UDP | Outbound |
*Before providing the firewall requirements, please update the port based on the customer environment.
Configuring the Target
Configure SNMP on the Cisco switch and allow SNMP access from the vuSmartMaps Collection/Ingress node.
