Unzip the download (Stingray Traffic Manager Cacti Templates.zip)Via the Cacti UI, “Import Templates” and import the Data, Host, and Graph templates. Included graph templates are not required for functionality.

OverviewCacti web application can be used to monitor various network device types such as switches, routers, firewalls as well as Linux and Windows servers and various device vendors with graphing bases using SNMP protocol with a fast poller that can support up to hundreds of devices.In this instruction will show you how to monitor Huawei switch with Cacti web application base on SNMP protocol. PrerequisitesIn this article, it is supposed that:a. You have already done the initial server setup. Please refer to this link.b. You have already installed Cacti server. Please refer to this link. Configure SNMP on DeviceFirst of all, we need to login to Huawei switch that we want to add and monitor it with Cacti and configure SNMP server as the following.

We will configure a read-only SNMP community string as “T@S9aMon” along with an ACL number “2017” to allow only a Cacti server with IP address of 10.0.0.1 to be accessible to this device. acl number 2017rule 10 permit source 10.0.0.1 0 snmp-agent sys-info version v2c snmp-agent community read T@S9aMon acl 2017 snmp-agent trap enable snmp-agent sys-info location DC snmp-agent sys-info contact netadmink@techspacekh.comTo test if the SNMP server on Huawei switch is configured properly and working, we need to login to Cacti server and execute the following snmpwalk command. In the following command it is assumed that the IP address of Huawei switch is 10.0.0.11. # snmpwalk -v2c -c T@S9aMon 10.0.0.11 4. Imports Device TemplateCacti can monitor Huawei switch base on SNMP protocol. In SNMP protocol, if we want to monitor something of a device, we need to know its OID or MIBs.

Luckily, we don’t have to worry about it since many people had developed many Cacti template. So, we just need to import that template into Cacti application. We will use a host template name “cactihosttemplatehuaweis5300” to monitor Huawei switch and this template also work on Huawei routers. You can download it from Cacti website or here.

To import a Cacti template, simply go to “Console” and then click on “Import Templates”. Click “Browe” and then navigate the location where you have downloaded the template and then click “Imports”.5. Adds Device In CactiAfter successfully import the Huawei switch host template, then we need to add a device using that host template. Go to “Console”, then “Devices” and click “Add”.Enter the device description and IP address of the the device and on “Device Template” select a template name “Huawei S5300”.In the “SNMP Options” sections, select SNMP version 2 and enter the SNMP community that we have configured on Huawei switch.Select “SNMP Uptime” from the “Downed Device Detection” box as the following and then click “Create”.6.

Creates Graph For The DeviceAfter the device is added, we need to create the graphs for the at particular device. In top of the added device windows, click “Create Graphs for this Device”.The following windows will appear, so we need to select the graphs that we have to create and the click “Create” at the bottom of windows.7. Places Device In The Graph TreeAfter the graphs are created, then we need to place that device under the graph tree. So, we will be able to the graph this device in the “graphs” tab of Cacti windows. To place a device under a graph tree, to go Console tab and the click “Device”. Check the device, and select “Place on Tree (Default Tree)” from the drop-down list and then click “Go”To see the graphs that we have created on Huawei switch, on Cacti windows click on “graphs” tab and then select the device that you want to see its graphs.8.

ConclusionThat’s all about using Cacti web application to monitor Huawei switch from Tech Space KH. Hopefully, you can find this guide informative. If you have any questions or suggestions you can always leave your comments below. I will try all of my best to review and reply them.

1 DEPLOYMENT GUIDE Deploying the BIG-IP LTM with the Cacti Open Source Network Monitoring System Version 1.02 Deploying F5 with Cacti Open Source Network Monitoring System Welcome to the F5 and Cacti deployment guide. This guide provides detailed procedures for configuring F5 devices with the Cacti Open Source Network Monitoring System. Network Management Systems (NMS) provide insight to device and application performance, system stability, network trouble spots and a host of other items that affect a company's ability to provide computer network services. Recent advances in automated event correlation, data storage and retrieval, as well as open source systems that allow greater integration, have greatly improved today's Network Management Systems. Cacti is a complete network graphing solution designed to harness the power of RRDTool's data storage and graphing functionality.

Cacti provides a fast poller, advanced graph templating, multiple data acquisition methods, and user management features out of the box. All of this is wrapped in an intuitive, easy to use interface that makes sense for LAN-sized installations up to complex networks with hundreds of devices. For more information on the Cacti project, see For further Cacti resources and information, see For more information on F5 devices described in this guide, see To provide feedback on this deployment guide or other F5 solution documents, contact us at Prerequisites and configuration notes The following are prerequisites and configuration notes about this deployment: The BIG-IP LTM system must be running v9.0 or later.

We highly recommend using v9.4 or later. Examples shown in this document are from a v10.0 system.

Cacti Device Templates

While many versions of Cacti exist, examples shown in this document are from a CactiEZ v0.8.7c deployment. As with many open source projects, development is ongoing and Cacti v0.8.7d was recently released. There have been no changes to the user interface between releases that would affect information contained in this guide. This document is written with the assumption that the reader is familiar with BIG-IP LTM systems, open source tools, Linux server systems administration and the Cacti monitoring platform. Additionally, the system administrator should be familiar with the basic concepts of the Simple Network Management Protocol (SNMP). For more information on configuring these products, consult the appropriate documentation. 13 Deploying F5 with Cacti Open Source Network Monitoring System Product versions and revision history Product and versions tested for this deployment guide: Product Tested Version Tested BIG-IP Local Traffic Manager (LTM) v10.0 Cacti Network Graphing Solution SNMP v0.8.7c v2c Revision history: Document Version Description 1.0 New deployment guide Configuration example The BIG-IP LTM system is used to add high availability and traffic management to a pool of servers providing network services and enterprise applications such as web (HTTP) traffic.
