  • 1.  IMC 7.0 Cisco snmp v3 support for Catalyst 2950 switch

    Posted Mar 25, 2015 02:52 PM

    Hello we have recently implmented the above version of IMC into our production environment, HP switches are added rather easily although my qualm is regarding adding a Cisco 2950 switch via snmpv3 that i am using as a test.

     

    I have queried the device model's in the portal and the 2950 is not listed which makes me believe that it isn't supported (makes sense it is an old unit) although i thought i would create this post to see if anyone has successfully added the device.

     

    Thanks

    There's two aspects to it:

     

    1/ IMC support for 2950. It's a pretty old switch, which actually makes it _more_ likely to be supported. Worst case it will show up as a generic Cisco device. You can add your own model name mapping if needed. IMC will still do fault, performance polling, etc. Will possibly need tweaking for backups, but probably not. 

     

    2/ The above support is independent of SNMPv2 vs v3 - it doesn't make any difference from IMC's perspective. I'm not sure if the 2950 supports v3. I seem to recall it didn't support SSH, so I'm not sure if SNMPv3 is supported. If the switch supports SNMPv3, IMC will be able to poll it.
