Hi.
We are trialing the protocols:-
- Cisco Manager v 8.0.0.9
- Cisci Nexus v 3.0.5.18
These protocols seem to have similar KPI's/metrics. Where would you :-
- Use one or the other?
- Use a compliment of some KPI's from one and other KPI's from the other
- Whats the general rule of thumb re this. For example, both protocols use similar KPI's for interface metrics etc. However, the Cisco Nexus protocol has good KPI's / Metrics for Cisco Network routing protocols(OSPF/BGP etc)

Hello Miguel, Ive , All
For #3 of Ken’s ask would these suffice as consideration as a general rule of thumb: Protocol Strengths, Redundancy Avoidance and Device Compatibility?
Hi Samson,
These two drivers were developed for specific Cisco operating systems. Based on this, I would say there is no general rule of thumb. The driver to be used will depend of the operating system running on the Cisco device.
Hope it helps.
TLDR;
The cisco manager is typically used on Cisco devices running IOS.
The Nexus manager is typically used on Cisco devices running NXOS.
