Download the NetModule template→zbx_export_netmodule_templates.zip

First we have to enabled the SNMP Agent on the router. We need to go to Services→SNMP Agent→enabled→Apply.

Now we need to enabled SNMP admin access on the router. Allowed host: only this host is allowed to get/set settings.

Now you can add the NetModule template for the router. To add the NetModule template for the router you have to go to Configuration → Templates. Now you see all templates in your Zabbix. To import a new template click “Import” upper right.

Then click “Browse..”.

Now move to your folder where the template is saved.

Finally click “Import” to add the template to Zabbix.

Go back to “Templates” and you can see the new template.

Now we need to create a new host. To creat a new host you have to go to Configuration→Hosts→Create host.

We have to remove the “Agent interface”. Then we need to add a new “SNMP interfece”, because we use SNMP for monitoring.

We need to fill the following parameter. If you are done, then click “Add”.

• Host name
• Groups or New group
• Add a SNMP interface (Enter the IP of the host)

We have added a template and created a new host. The next step is to add the template to the host. We go to Configuration→Host, then click the new host. Now we go to “Templates” and click “Select”.

Select the template which you want.

Finally click “Add” and then “Update”.

All was successful. The connection between Zabbix and SNMP agent was also successful. We can see this in the column “Availability”. The SNMP are green marked.

For each parameter we have created a graph. If we put more graphs together then we call this screen. Every application of the router has one screen. If you want you can create your own screens. To use the supplied screens you have to write your host name in the search field and then enter.

Now you have to click on “Screens”.

Then you can see all screens. In the picture below we see the screen of the “Interface 3”.

If you want to switch to the other interface you can choose on the upper right the other screens.
