Hi,

first of all, you have to get familiar with snmp/Mibs/etc.

Check, if you can connect to your 3Com switch via snmp, try following.

# snmpwalk -v1 -c <community> <IP or hostname from your switch> system

next step is, what will you exactly monitor.

Interfaces? FANs? Temperature? Powersupplies? etc.

Therefor, you have to find the right MIBs for your Hardware.

Looking forward
Richard
