Hi all,
is there a list of devices that are supported by the Cisco Manager connector (Catalog (dataminer.services))?
In this case, the request is to monitor and manage Cisco Catalyst 4500 Series Switches.
Hi Lars - I am not aware of a list of supported models, but the info resides in the connector itself and can be parsed into a csv file.
The purpose of the Cisco Manager Connector is to support the Catalyst access series switches for monitoring purposes (2xxx,3xxx,4xxx, 8xxx, 9xxx, etc.) - basically the access layer switch series.
In case you've switches for datacenter & cloud purposes such as Nexus series or Cisco MDS or an aggregation MS series switch, the latter is supported commercially through a different connector.
In a nutshell, commercially we:
- support the catalyst family switches through one connector: the cisco manager connector
Then:
- The Nexus family have a different commercial connector
- The MDS family have a different commercial connector
- The ASR Aggregation Routers have a different commercial connector
- The NCS routers have a different commercial connector
- ...
Hi Lars,
Maybe this is something we could seek to make clearer in the Catalog. Not sure of the feasibility, but I'll take this up as an internal discussion.
Hi Lars,
I remember I saw a similar question: Driver for Cisco routers
When checking which Cisco connector should be used, we should check the OS running on the Cisco device to determine the right connector.
Checking the datasheet of the Cisco Catalyst 4500 Series Switches, I believe that the Cisco Manager should be the connector to be used.
Hi Simon,
I understand this might be a little tricky to maintain but I believe that this information could be helpful for many people.
