Network management with Cisco network monitoring tool

With over 1,800 exclusive Cisco device templates, Cisco performance monitoring has never been more comprehensive. Receive instant alerts on your mobile device in case of outages of Cisco PIX, Cisco Catalyst devices, Cisco Meraki cloud controller, and much more. You can also monitor the Cisco stack switches using Site24x7. Site24x7 also supports monitoring Cisco ASA 5500 series firewalls and other network security appliances to stay on top of your virtual private network (VPN).

  • Automatically discover devices and monitor your Cisco devices using SNMP or Meraki REST-APIs.

  • Stay on top of your network activity with detailed stats on the status, availability, and performance of every router, multi-service router, concentrator router, switch, multi-layer switch, blade module switch, stack switch, firewall, and wireless LAN controller.

  • Simply connect to your devices by providing its SNMP credentials. You can select from the available default device templates or create a custom one as required.

  • Track the traffic of any device at the interface level and monitor all the key performance metrics for effective network performance monitoring. Site24x7 supports both SNMP-based and flow-based traffic monitoring.

  • Manage network device configurations by receiving alerts about inaccurate configurations or unauthorized changes. Quickly restore of working versions of device configurations to minimize disruptions.

FAQs on Cisco network monitoring

1. Why is it important to monitor Cisco network devices?

Keeping an eye on your Cisco network devices is crucial for maintaining a secure and reliable network infrastructure. With real-time visibility, network administrators get to stay ahead of potential risks, ensuring optimal network availability and performance. By proactively monitoring these devices using a Cisco monitoring tool, they can provide users with a seamless experience and keep the network running smoothly.

After adding the Cisco stack switch as a monitor in Site24x7, you can easily access health data such as hardware sensor stats for temperature, fan, and power supply of individual switch in the stack. You can also view details such as role, state, MAC address, software priority, hardware priority, model, serial number, and status displayed for every switch. You can quickly monitor the stack members, the way they're connected, and the status of each member and their interconnections—all at a single glance from the stack data ring. Receive timely alerts whenever a switch's role changes, when the switch is down, or both. You can also set threshold limits for hardware sensor values and choose to receive alerts via email, SMS, phone calls, or push notifications.

Site24x7 is a robust network monitoring tool that offers a variety of features to help you monitor Cisco network performance. With over 1,800 default templates for adding Cisco devices, Site24x7 uses SNMP and ICMP to provide a comprehensive solution for monitoring your network. Additionally, you can customize these templates to meet your specific requirements, ensuring that your network is monitored in a way that best suits your needs. Site24x7 automatically monitors key metrics at the interface level, allowing you to stay informed about any potential issues that may arise.

Furthermore, you can add performance counters of your choice to further enhance your Cisco device performance monitoring capabilities further. It allows you to seamlessly monitor your Meraki environment using REST API or SNMP as per your preference. Site24x7 can also discover and monitor Cisco stack switches, send processed SNMP trap messages from your Cisco devices, and create layer 2 maps, Meraki maps, and topology maps.

In the event of downtime, Site24x7 will promptly send alerts to your email, ensuring that you are informed of any network disruptions. You can also view graphs of key performance stats and generate both predefined and customizable reports, providing you with valuable insights into your network's performance.
