[mrtg] Re: Powerconnect Switches

[Robert Walters]

Here are a couple of my configs from my Dells.  I have quite a few of them
being monitored.  I also had problems using configmaker.  My problem was not
generating good configuration files.  I manually adjusted them as need to
make them work.  I also included the Dell MIBs since Dell does not make them
available on their web site.  At least they didn't the last time I needed
them.  
I do know that the IP address of the machine requesting the SNMP information
needs to be entered in the switch.  Not having that can cause it to behave
strongly.

There is a config from a 3024 and a 3048 plus the MIBS bellow.

Hope this helps.

I'm having a problem that I think a lot of other people have had with the
dell powerconnect 3024 switches.  I'm only able to pull stats from these
switches on average one time in ten, or use cfgmaker on them one time in
ten.

I am able to consistently grab information from these switches with getif.

Are there any diagnostics anyone can suggest I try?

It doesn't help that the google search for "powerconnect" on the list
search page returns the right headers, but links to the wrong messages.

by the way, yes, that's the device's real ip, but it has a host table,
which I have configured correctly.  If anyone wants to try testing
anything, let me know and I'll add you.
