This article lists configurations for your network infrastructure devices (routers, switches, etc.) to work with Kentik.
Note:
Before using these configurations, read the README at https://github.com/kentik/config-snippets.
Some repo directories also have vendor-specific READMEs providing important background information.
These directories may also list ("Tested Compatible Platforms") when that platform’s compatibility has been confirmed in a Kentik production environment.
