    Hi All,

    What are the supported devices for interface_traffic probe, for eg cisco, brocade ?

    The interface_traffic probe is no longer supported.
    This has been replaced by the snmpcollector.
    The interface_traffic probe is no longer available on the were archive as well.
    the interface_traffic probe never had a list of devices it was certified against.

    You can see what devices its replacement the snmpcollector is certified with here:

    Hi Gene,

    Do interface_traffic probe was meant to work with cisco devices only or does it support other vendors too like Brocade SAN switches. ?

    Hi

    For interface_traffic probe the  requirement was that the target SNMP agent must support the MIB-II ifTable .No specific vendor support

    Per what Gene noted, and the device types that you list snmpcollector would be the way to go. For those robots that support cdm, you can use cdm to monitor limited interface statistics on those devices as well. See the network section listed in the following. These are configured in Admin Console.
