[Nagiosplug-help] CISCO Catalyst MIB's

[Robert Jackson]

Thanks for the reply Stewart.

I plan on proactively monitoring just the standard checks (CPU, port
status, bandwidth etc) so I'm sure there will be plugs for that if the
standard Nagios SNMP plug-in can't cope. Can't see me wanting to write
anything specific - certainly not in the short term anyway.

Robert:
The answer to the "do I need the MIBS" question is: "it depends". :(

If you are going to "proactively" monitor the switch (via active
checks), and there are existing plugins for the switch, then you should
not need the MIB's (as some other person figured out how to do the
appropriate SNMP queries). 

If the plugins do not exist and you are going to create them yourself,
then you will likely need them. 

If you want Nagios to respond to SNMP traps sent by the switch
("reactive" monitoring via passive checks), then you will definitely
need the MIB's.
