Device Configs Directory

The following topics provide links to example configurations that enable your network infrastructure devices (routers, switches, etc.) to work with Kentik:

Note:
- Before trying to use individual configurations, please read the overall README at https://github.com/kentik/config-snippets.
- The directories for individual device manufacturers may also have vendor-specific READMEs providing important background information. These directories may also contain a list ("Tested Compatible Platforms") of the platforms whose compatibility has been confirmed in a Kentik production environment.
