3Com Switches

Most 3Com switches feature an SNMP
agent that can provide powerful and vital hardware status
information. Use MonitorMagic to monitor for performance
and stability loss on your 3Com network components.

3Com
Switch
- How To Install?

To install a policy, download a policy by clicking
on the version link in the policy table below. Make sure
the file is saved to a .mpf file on your local hard disk.
Start the MonitorMagic client and select the "Local
Monitor Policies" branch in the "Policies" tab
of the network browse window. Navigate to the "Policy" menu
and click "Import policies...". Select the
downloaded policy file and click OK. The new policy is
now available in the MonitorMagic client policy tree.

3Com
Switch
- How To Configure?

1. Specify the IP-address and community of
your 3Com device
Each SNMP monitor needs a valid IP address, community
specification and Object Identifier. Our policies already
contain the Object Identifiers and default community
<public>. To configure the policy, modify each
SNMP monitor and point the IP-address to the 3Com device.
You can test each monitor by using the "Get" button
when editing the SNMP get monitor.
2. Modify SNMP OID numbers for each port
Several monitors related to an interface, such
as the "Interface Status", point to a
specific OID. For
additional ports/interfaces, add new SNMP hosts to this
monitor which
correspond with the number of the port/interface.

3Com
Switch - How To Run?

Within the MonitorMagic client, connect to a running
MonitorMagic service that has a pingable network connection
to the 3Com Switch. Drag-and-drop the 3Com Switch
policy onto the open MonitorMagic service window to start
monitoring.
