Archive DHCP Bindings from Cisco Router using EEM

March 24th, 2017 No comments

This recipe describes a simple method to send DHCP bindings from a Cisco router to a remote TFTP server running on Windows.  A batch file renanes and date-stamps the file and another batch file removes the archived files after a retention period:

EEM SCRIPT ON CISCO ROUTER:

(Note: the cron entry sends the file every 5 minutes)
event manager session cli username “your_username”  (NOTE: this is required if tacacs+ is running on the router)
event manager applet copy-dhcp-bindings
event timer cron cron-entry “*/5 * * * * ”
action 0.5 cli command “enable”
action 1.0 cli command “show ip dhcp binding | redirect tftp://[ip_address]/bindings.txt”
!
end Read more…

Monitor QoS Policy on Cisco Router using SNMP

March 23rd, 2017 No comments

This recipe describes how to use SNMP to determine the traffic offered and drop rate for a QoS policy configured on a Cisco router.

The steps here describe which OIDs to interrogate in the CISCO-CLASS-BASED-QOS-MIB

STEP 1:

Get the SNMP ifIndex for the interface where the QoS policy is attached:
CiscoRouter#sh snmp mib ifmib ifindex | i GigabitEthernet0/1
GigabitEthernet0/1: Ifindex = 22

(or by using SNMP):
root@Linux# snmpwalk -v2c -c communityname 10.0.200.12 1.3.6.1.2.1.2.2 | grep -i GigabitEthernet0/1
RFC1213-MIB::ifDescr.22 = STRING: “GigabitEthernet0/1” Read more…
