Re: [Devmon] Not getting data for Cisco 3500 switches

[Kauffman, T. <Kau...@ni...>]

These are old devices, most in inconvenient parts of the country. My network people tell me that many don't have enough memory to keep the old IOS available through an upgrade, so if something craps out we end up with a dead switch. They're on schedule for replacement early next year.

I'm more interested in why devmon doesn't get anything but cricket 1.05 seems to have no problem. (I know; "look at the source"; trust me, if I could figure out how cricket works, I wouldn't be replacing it!)

For now it looks like I'll continue with cricket on the old devices.

Thanks -

Tom Kauffman

Try updating the version of IOS that you are running on those switches.  I see they are from 2002.  We had similar issues with our switches that were resolved with a simple IOS upgrade.
