Hello @taashee,

Most of these types of devices will use SNMP for monitoring, and they are a couple of options to set this up. You can use the generic wizards in Nagios XI like the SNMP Wizard or Switch/Router Wizard.

Using the SNMP Walk Wizard

Another option is to look for a community plugin on the Nagios Exchange that was developed for the specific device. Normally, these work using SNMP as well but the OID's are hardcoded in the scripts. For example, there a number of community plugins for Avaya monitoring.

For instructions on installing and configuring a community plugin, take a look a the following articles.

Hope that helps get you started. As you move into setting this up, let us know if you need assistance.
