You can add Cisco Nexus switches as a data source in vRealize Network Insight.
Note: If you have a Nexus device configured with multiple Virtual Device Contexts (VDC) then you need to individually specify VDC associated IP address as separate data sources.
Prerequisites
- Read-only user: vRealize Network Insight requires read-only third-party device credentials (passwords) to access the SSH data. This user needs to have the Network Operator role. These passwords are added when configuring the third-party data provider in vRealize Network Insight user interface.
- Read-only SNMP user: vRealize Network Insight uses SNMP to collect metrics information from third-party devices (switches, routers, firewalls, and so on). The third-party devices must have SNMP enabled and be accessible from vRealize Network Insight.
