Hi ,

We are going to integrate bandwidth monitoring of the linux and windows based serves . While configuring the bandwidth we are facing errors . We are providing you the screen shot of the error which we are getting with attachment . Please check the error and provide us with the details documentation for the configuration of nagios bandwidth monitoring . We are waiting for your reply .

Note - : We are using Configure ==.> Run the Monitoring Wizard ==> Network Switch /Router option for bandwidth configure

Make sure SNMP is enabled on the switch, and also while you're in the switch, make sure you have the proper SNMP community string.

Also, a firewall exists between the Nagios XI server and the switch that might be blocking SNMP traffic.
