Which Nortel Router? Nortel buy other companies, so all their products have different MIBs...

For standard interface traffic, the Interface Traffic graph template works fine on most routers (including BayRS, if that's what you have).

Create a new host template, and add whichever graph templates you like to it. Host templates aren't magic - they're just a quick way to add multiple graph templates to a device.

Host Templates...Add :-)

Give your template a name (say, Nortel Passport).

Now you add Graph Templates to it. You probably don't need a special nortel-specific template for port traffic - just add "Interface - Traffic". In fact, you could probably start by selecting the Generic SNMP-enabled Host template, and duplicating it. We used to have Accelar 1200s (now passport 1200s), and I don't remember doing anything special for them.

What happens is when you create a device, and apply the host template, it pulls in all the graph templates that you added to the host template in one go. That's what I meant about it not being magic - it doesn't "know" anything more about Nortel stuff, than adding graphs manually.

Hello !

I'm also searching a template for Nortel switches (BS460, 5520, 425 and passport 8600) which enables me to graph CPU, free memory and bandwith on uplink ports (using Spanning Tree Protocol)

Is someone, here, already have these templates for these switches models or equivalent; I'm OK to take them :D
But I think the differences between models of Nortel is the OID; that is customisable Smile

Sorry for my english, I'm french :/
