Cisco – Get access-list via SNMP

While asking the question the answer became clear (maybe I should ask my question to a stuffed parrot before asking it on Serverfault :))

The JUNIPER-IF-MIB extends IF-MIB obviously, and that includes the names and status. It can be found here: http://www.oidview.com/mibs/0/IF-MIB.html.

I'll leave the question here in case anyone else hits the same problem.

If you want to retrieve SNMP data from the cisco router from your Linux box, you don't need the SNMP daemon, what you need is a tool that will get the SNMP data and graph it. SNMP data needs to be pulled by something.

Popular tools include MRTG, Cacti, RRDTool, and then all of the heavier network managment systems like Nagios, OpenNMS, and ZenOSS.

If you have the snmp package installed then you can use a command like this snmpwalk -${SnmpVer} -c${SnmpCommunity} ${systemIp} system to test and see if you can make an SNMP connection. For your example you probably want replace the variables like this. snmpwalk -2 -cpublic 10.1.1.1 system.
