How can I add Cisco Switches to Optivity NMS 10???

[techiechick10]

We are using Optivity NMS 10 on Win2K server. Optivity sees all of our Baystack equipment, but not our Cisco switches and routers. How can I get Optivity to monitor these as well??

I suggest you check your SNMP naming convention. More than likely your Cisco stuff is not configured with the same string as your bay stuff.

If you are not seeing the Cisco stuff and you are sure your SNMP strings are set, you can go the path of the seed file. With a seed file you can directly insert devices into the topology DB. Once NNM gets a good read on your other network devices, your maps should begin to populate nicely.

Check out the NNM user manual (free pdf from

http://www.openview.hp.com

-->see-try-buy) for how to implement a seed file.

Good luck!
