LAN Network


Product uses SNMP v1,2c,3 read-only access (port 161 UDP) to get data from LAN switches.
Generally majority of network switch devices should work.

  • Enable SNMP communication from XorMon server to all LAN switches on port 161, UDP
    Connections are always initiated from XorMon server side

  • SNMP v3 setup:
    Perl SNMP v3 compatibility Auth & Priv support matrix
    snmp-server contact "<contact>" location "<location>"
    snmpv3 enable
    snmpv3 only
    snmpv3 user xormon auth sha <AuthPass> priv aes <PrivPass>
    snmpv3 group managerpriv user "xormon" sec-model ver3        
    
  • To monitor VLAN must be enabled on the switch this:
    $ interface vlan { vlan-id | vlan-range}
    
  • Add switches into configuration:
    Settings icon ➡ Devices ➡ Network ➡ LAN ➡ New ➡ Vendor:device : Cisco incompatible
    Cisco LAN monitoring non Cisco

  • Troubleshooting:
    This must work from cmd line, it must provide name of the switch (place your IP and community string)
    snmpwalk -v 2c -c public 192.168.1.1 1.3.6.1.2.1.1.5

Product uses SNMP v1,2c,3 read-only access (port 161 UDP) to get data from LAN switches.
Generally all network devices having SNMP MIBs compatible with Cisco should work.

It uses LLDP protocol for LAN Topology feature.

  • Enable SNMP communication from XorMon server to all LAN switches on port 161, UDP
    Connections are always initiated from XorMon server side

  • SNMP v3 setup:
    Perl SNMP v3 compatibility Auth & Priv support matrix

    • Cisco: follow XorMon setup example or the Cisco official one

    • HPE Aruba:
      • AuthPriv and AuthPass passwords to be a minimum of 8 characters.
      • User on the switch itself needs to be placed in a specific SNMPv3 group (see config below)
      • SNMPv3 server on the switch might respond on the first IP address configured only on the switch.
        (unsure whether this is a limitation, bug, or due to the actual management interface not being configured, use that IP or modify your DNS to point to it)
      snmp-server contact "<contact>" location "<location>"
      snmpv3 enable
      snmpv3 only
      snmpv3 user xormon auth sha <AuthPass> priv aes <PrivPass>
