Before You Start Cisco Switch Data Collection
The Data Collector uses SMI-S to communicate with the Cisco switches to gather data. To ensure that the SMI-S provider is running, be sure to enable the Common Information Model (CIM) Server on the switch using the following CLI commands:
cimserver status | To execute this command, you need to be in enable mode. |
show cimserver | |
config t | This puts you into configuration mode. |
cimserver enable | Once you are in configuration mode, this command turns on the SMI-S provider. |
