It is marked 'obsolete' if there are no confirmed vulnerabilities (yet). Versions marked 'obsolete' are 'End of Life', 'End of Maintenance' or otherwise old versions we desire to upgrade. Versions marked 'approved' are versions that are confirmed to be recent,without known vulnerabilities (yet) or otherwise desired by IT networks/management for standardization. For that, the plugin implements aД«lacklist/whitelist mechanism through a configuration file listing the OS versions in 4 pre-defined categories: Or otherwise not following our standards for deployment. Going a step further, we want to take action on OS versions that are vulnerable, obsolete, Now we have a nice, complete and grouped view on what version is deployed.

Thank you Cisco for paying attention to such details!Д«y writing a Nagios plugin we can extract and display the OS version in the monitoring console. Not many vendors follow this standard closely by implementing a meaningful version string.ДЇortunately Cisco is doing it and for their IOS software it has been done in a consistent This value should include the full name and version identification of the system's hardware type, software operating-system, and networking software.' (quote SNMPv2-MIB.txt). Receive the Cisco OS version (IOS, ASA, PIX) through the SNMPv2 MIB's 'sysDescr' parameter.

Here is a description on how to achieve the OS versionДЄnd patch monitoring by leveraging the existing monitoring tool Nagios.

Their integration into a 'enterprise', vendor-independend patch and OS version monitoringДЇramework requires extra effort. Tools likeД¬iscoWorks can help but are significant work to implement and operate. There is no single view on their patch and OS version status. Substantial impact on our network security and availability. Network devices are a large part of our device inventory. and we have a wideДevice and model variety of their switches, routers and security appliances. As in many companies, our main network vendor is Cisco, Inc.
