Re: Cricket & Cisco ASA

Thanks Nick...

My Defaults file has the same OIDs listed.  Would you mind sharing an ASA
Targets file so that I may compare?  Maybe I need to update/fix the
genRtrConfig program to collect ASA stats properly...

Thanks again,

Joe

What other things are you looking for? We monitor the interfaces for
octects, packets & errors and the system for cpu and memory. These are
the oids we're using for the system:

OID     cpmCPUTotal5min         1.3.6.1.4.1.9.9.109.1.1.1.1.5.1
OID     memcpu5minused          1.3.6.1.4.1.9.9.48.1.1.1.5.1
OID     memcpu5minfree          1.3.6.1.4.1.9.9.48.1.1.1.6.1

As for the interfaces, don't forget to give them a new with name-if,
else you won't be able to map them easily. Speaking of which, since
software release 8.0.3 for the asa we've been unable to see the traffic
over the failover / synchronization interface since it can't be named
any longer. Worked fine in 7.2.3.

take care.
