I just set up a PowerConnect 5324 on my home network, my first hands on experience with a managed switch.
I've got it configured at a bare minimum, but I want to start logging some statistics on it, specifically running temps, CPU usage, and fan speed. Ideally, I'd like to see what temperatures it runs at with the fans at full speed and at reduced speed, so I can gauge whether or not I can undervolt or slow them down to reduce noise and not get outside of normal operating temperatures.
I downloaded an SNMP receiver, PRTG on my Windows machine, and I enabled the snmp server on the switch, but I'm not sure how to add specific monitor points. The software automatically detected to monitor uptime and throughput, but I'd like to add others. Anyone have experience with this?
