  • 1.  Create an HSRP watch in Spectrum.

    How do you create an HSRP watch in Spectrum and then have Spectrum alert you whenever that watch is triggered?  I don't want to have to configure a TRAP on 100 + routers

    Hello David,

     

    Do we have an attribute referring to HSRP state changes ? You have it then you are good to go with watches. What actually are you trying to monitor?

    Opnet,

     

    But, If i'm not wrong when it comes for HSRP states there are 4-5 states to be referred to , right?

    David,

     

    Best approach here is to enable ONLY the HSRP state change traps on the router. We do have the events and alarms mapped for HSRP state change traps.

     

    Other way is to have an attribute on the router model in Oneclick which will report various states of HSRP like BGPPeerstate attribute and then configure a watch in Oneclick on this HSRP state change attribute .

     

    We might also need to compile the MIb which has this state change attribute value incase you don't have it out of the box.
