CACTI Basic settings-switching devices

CACTIIt takes a long time, but it is a lot of trouble for new users to configure CACTI. This article will learn about the basic settings of CACTI.Exchange Device!

Set the switch device:

In addition to monitoring the performance parameters of each server, in actual applications, we may need to monitor the traffic of switches or routers. Similarly, we need to enable the SNMP function of the switching device so that Cacti can obtain data. The exchange device generally uses the SNMP software of the device manufacturer. The following uses the CISCO device as an example to set the Configuration:

 
 

  
  
Router>enable  
  
  
 
  
  
Password:  
  
  
 
  
  
Router#  
  
  
 
  
  
Router#configure terminal  
  
  
 
  
  
Enter configuration commands, one per line.  
  
  
 
  
  
End  
  
  
 
  
  
with CNTL/Z.  
  
  
 
  
  
Router(config)#  
  
  
 
 
 

The following command creates a read-only community name "public ":

 
 

  
  
Router(config)#snmp-server community public RO  
  
  
 
 
 

The following command creates a writable community name "private ":

 
 

  
  
Router(config)#snmp-server community private RW  
  
  
 
 
 

Exit config mode:

 
 

  
  
Router(config)#exit  
  
  
 
  
  
Router#  
  
  
 
 
 

Write the settings to NVRAM ::

 
 

  
  
Router#write memory  
  
  
 
  
  
Building configuration...  
  
  
 
  
  
[OK]  
  
  
 
  
  
Router#  
 
 

By recognizing CACTI and setting the switch device again, you will be more proficient in using CACTI in the future!
