MRTG suggestions for monitoring Viprion with VCMP?

Currently, we using MRTG to monitor most of our network gear. However, I cannot find a way to monitor guest instances on a Viprion running version 11.2. All of the SNMP counters come back the same for different VLANs.

 

An example of the OIDs on a per VLAN instance on the guests:

 

• Name/OID: sysVlanStatBytesIn.14.47.67.111.109.109.111.110.47.116.109.109.95.98.112; Value (Counter64): 2819332868640
• Name/OID: sysVlanStatBytesIn.19.47.67.111.109.109.111.110.47.104.97.45.102.97.105.108.111.118.101.114; Value (Counter64): 2819332868640
• Name/OID: sysVlanStatBytesIn.19.47.67.111.109.109.111.110.47.115.99.45.105.110.116.101.114.110.97.108; Value (Counter64): 2819332868640

 

So instead, we're monitoring both chassis individually on each VLAN, which is somewhat painful when we flip chassis, or if we have two VCMP instances on the same subnet.

 

I have included the MRTG target config we're using on a chassis basis, in case anyone ever needs something like this. I would recommend you use a MIB Browser to find the exact right OID, as it's VERY confusing on the lower levels, and MRTG won't find it on a walk, even with the MIBs loaded:

 

 

• Target[192.168.1.1_outside]: 1.3.6.1.4.1.3375.2.1.2.13.6.2.1.3.21.47.67.111.109.109.111.110.47.115.99.115.102.45.101.120.116.101.114.110.97.108&1.3.6.1.4.1.3375.2.1.2.13.6.2.1.5.21.47.67.111.109.109.111.110.47.115.99.115.102.45.101.120.116.101.114.110.97.108:comstringhere@10.1.1.1:::::2

• Target[192.168.2.1_internal]: 1.3.6.1.4.1.3375.2.1.2.13.6.2.1.3.19.47.67.111.109.109.111.110.47.115.99.45.105.110.116.101.114.110.97.108&1.3.6.1.4.1.3375.2.1.2.13.6.2.1.5.19.47.67.111.109.109.111.110.47.115.99.45.105.110.116.101.114.110.97.108:comstringhere@10.1.1.1:::::2

 

Alternately, you can walk it manually. I'd suggest these three commands:

 

Figure out the OID to Interface mapping

 

snmpwalk -v 2c -c comstringhere 10.1.1.1 1.3.6.1.4.1.3375.2.1.2.13.6.2.1.1

 

Get the In full OID

 

snmpwalk -v 2c -c comstringhere 10.1.1.1 1.3.6.1.4.1.3375.2.1.2.13.6.2.1.3

 

get the full OID for out

 

snmpwalk -v 2c -c comstringhere 10.1.1.1 1.3.6.1.4.1.3375.2.1.2.13.6.2.1.5

 

 

 

If someone has a better way to do this, please, let me know.
