I've dabbled with monitoring our ONS 15454's, but the mibs are really poorly written, and I'm not quite certain what data you can get from them. Since it is sonet, you don't really get traffic stats, since it just transmits idles if it has no other data.
The one thing I was really hoping to get from the box was alarms, but they are completely broken until ONS version 4.0.... If you want to try monitoring the ports that are listed, just set a reasonable maxbytes value and uncomment everything. But I imagine the reason that ifSpeed is zero is that the ifInOctet counters don't increment for any ports other than the ethernet blade. You can dig into the transmission mibs, though, and on occassion find something useful there about BERs.

This ONS is a carrier class switch used in telecommunications. The ONS is sitting on an OC-48 sonnet ring and is tied to an identical ONS at our remote location over an OC-3 overlay. The OC-3 overlay is a 155Mb connection. I downloaded the Cisco SONNET mibs from Cisco's website and used cfgmaker to make a configfile with a statement to Load MIBs using the LoadMIBs: /location/mibname.mib line file for this ONS box. If I look at the config file, I get the following: # Created by # /usr/local/mrtg-2/bin/cfgmaker --global 'WorkDir: /usr/local/www/ITWeb/MRTG' --global 'Options[_]: growright, bits' --global 'Unscaled[_]: ymw' --global 'Refresh: 300' --global 'Interval: 5' --global 'WriteExpires: Yes' --global 'LoadMIBs: /usr/local/mrtg-2/mibs/CISCO-SONET-CAPABILITY.mib,/usr/local/mrtg-2/ mibs/CISCO-SONET-EXT-CAPABILITY.mib,/usr/local/mrtg-2/mibs/CISCO-SONET- MIB.mib' --dns-domain=coxnews.net --community=***** --show-op-down --no-down fcpp-ons ### Global Config Options # for UNIX # WorkDir: /home/http/mrtg # or for NT # WorkDir: c:\mrtgdata ### Global Defaults # to get bits instead of bytes and graphs growing to the right # Options[_]: growright, bits WorkDir: /usr/local/www/ITWeb/MRTG Options[_]: growright, bits Unscaled[_]: ymw Refresh: 300 Interval: 5 WriteExpires: Yes LoadMIBs: /usr/local/mrtg-2/mibs/CISCO-SONET-CAPABILITY.mib,/usr/local/mrtg-2/ mibs/CISCO-SONET-EXT-CAPABILITY.mib,/ usr/local/mrtg-2/mibs/CISCO-SONET-MIB.mib ###################################################################### # System: ONS-FCPP # Description: Cisco 15454 03.03-001K-15.01 # Contact: Brandon Anastasoff 404-557-4495 / Phil Groen 404-557-4452 # Location: 72 Marietta St., Atlanta GA 30303 ###################################################################### ### Interface 1 >> Descr: '' | Name: '' | Ip: '***.***.26.15' | Eth: '' ### ### The following interface is commented out because: ### * has a speed of which makes no sense ### * got 'Received SNMP response with error code ### error status: noSuchName ### index 1 (OID: 1.3.6.1.2.1.2.2.1.10.1) ### SNMPv1_Session (remote host: "fcpp-ons" [***.***.26.15].161) ### community: "public" ### request ID: -1020141238 ### PDU bufsize: 8000 bytes ### timeout: 2s ### retries: 5 ### backoff: 1)' from interface when trying to query # # Target[fcpp-ons.coxnews.net_1]: 1:[EMAIL PROTECTED]: # SetEnv[fcpp-ons.coxnews.net_1]: MRTG_INT_IP="***.***.26.15" MRTG_INT_DESCR="" # MaxBytes[fcpp-ons.coxnews.net_1]: 0 # Title[fcpp-ons.coxnews.net_1]: Traffic Analysis for 1 -- ONS-FCPP # PageTop[fcpp-ons.coxnews.net_1]: <H1>Traffic Analysis for 1 -- ONS-FCPP</H1> # <TABLE> # <TR><TD>System:</TD> <TD>ONS-FCPP in 72 Marietta St., Atlanta GA 30303</TD></TR> # <TR><TD>Maintainer:</TD> <TD>Brandon Anastasoff 404-557-4495 / Phil Groen 404-557-4452</TD></TR> # <TR><TD>Description:</TD><TD> </TD></TR> # <TR><TD>ifType:</TD> <TD> ()</TD></TR> # <TR><TD>ifName:</TD> <TD></TD></TR> # <TR><TD>Max Speed:</TD> <TD>0.0 Bytes/s</TD></TR> # <TR><TD>Ip:</TD> <TD> ***.***.26.15 (fcpp-ons.coxnews.net)</TD></TR> # </TABLE> I find it quite interesting that cfgmaker created a complete config file for this ONS box, but commented out every line because "The following interface is commented out because: * has a speed of which makes no sense". Any suggestions, or any one else using MRTG to monitor commercial grade telco equipment?
