Cisco Catalyst Devices
This section describes the steps that should be carried out to set up Cisco Catalyst devices for network
management.
Note:
All steps may not be required, and some steps can be expanded with more functionality.
SNMPv2 Community Strings
Operations Manager can use SNMPv2 read community strings to retrieve fault and performance information from
the devices. Some of the features in Operations Manager (node-to-node tests, SRST monitoring, and phone
status tests) also require SNMP write community strings to configure the IP SLA on certain devices. If you intend
to use these features, be sure to configure SNMP write community strings on these devices. All SNMP community
strings must match on the devices and in the Operations Manager default credentials repository.
To configure SNMPv2 community strings on a Cisco Catalyst OS device, use the following global configuration
commands:
set snmp community read-only<read-community-string>
set snmp community read-write<write-community-string>
These commands help ensure that the device can be identified and that SNMP polling can be carried out.
Cisco Discovery Protocol
Cisco Discovery Protocol is a Cisco proprietary protocol that is used by devices to advertise their existence to
other devices on the network. Each device that has Cisco Discovery Protocol enabled maintains a table of its
neighbors. Operations Manager uses Cisco Discovery Protocol to perform an automated discovery of all the Cisco
devices in the network and gather information about Cisco IP Phones connected to these devices.
If Cisco Discovery Protocol is not enabled on a device, Operations Manager cannot perform an automated Cisco
Discovery Protocol-based network discovery and cannot populate phone reports with switch-related information.
Cisco Discovery Protocol is enabled by default, so you need to enable it only if it has been explicitly disabled. For
reasons of information security, it is recommended that Cisco Discovery Protocol be explicitly disabled on devices
that are on the borders of your management domain, such as edge routers.
To enable Cisco Discovery Protocol on a Cisco Catalyst device, use the following command:
set cdp enable<all | module/port>
To enable Cisco Discovery Protocol on a Cisco IOS device, use the following command:
cdp run
Tips:
●
Use the “all” parameter to enable Cisco Discovery Protocol on all ports on the device, or enter specific
module and port numbers. A range of ports can also be entered.
