Monitoring Switch Fabric utilisation (VSS)

Hey guys,



I am doing some research into the monitoring of our blade's switching
fabric. I found that we can monitor via SNMP the ingress / egress blade
fabric utilisation.



I see from the command line you can issue: "show fabric switch
[switch.number] utilization"



What I can't seem to get is the SNMP data for the non active switch in a VSS
configuration.



For SNMP the MIB "ciscoCat6kCrossbarMIB" allows you to monitor the active
switch fabric utilisation but not the standby. A walk of this MIB tree
doesn't seem to show the standby switch at all.

I see there is the CISCO-VIRTUAL-SWITCH-MIB but this looks to me more for
monitoring the VSS status.



Any SNMP / monitoring guru's able to help with this one?



Cheers,



Aaron.

Hi Aaron,

You need to specify the chassis number as part of the SNMP community.
If your SNMP community is "public" then the SNMP query should be:

snmpwalk 1.2.3.4 -c public [at] chassis- -v 2c .1.3.6.1.4.1.9.9.217.1.3.1.1.6

snmpwalk 1.2.3.4 -c public [at] chassis- -v 2c .1.3.6.1.4.1.9.9.217.1.3.1.1.6


Regards.
