How to parse an SNMP packet from a switch?

Question

Computer networks

How to understand what data the switch issues via the SNMP protocol? Probably there is some kind of convenient software for intercepting and "sorting out" the metrics that the switch sends?

Answer 1

I take it you haven't heard of zabbix?

Answer 2

If I understand correctly, you want a string like:
1.3.6.1.2.1.17.7.1.4.3.1.1.1 = string "office"
See as:
Description Vlan "1" = "office"
If I understand correctly, then you need a MIB file from your switch (this is a kind of dictionary that translates the OID into a textual representation)
And the MIB Browser which will automatically "digest" this

Answer 3

the most convenient are zabbix and PRTG

Answer 4

mib browser. And MIB files, which describe what, where and how is given. However, if there are only standard MIBs, the MIB browser usually has a typical set.

Answer 5

I have been using cacti for such purposes for 14 years
