Managing Devices in the Web Console
9.
If you want to use SNMP to monitor the added node, confirm that ICMP
(Ping only) is cleared, and then complete the following steps:
a. Select the SNMP Version for the added node.
Notes:
n Orion Platform uses SNMPv2c by default. If the device you are
adding supports or requires the enhanced security features of
SNMPv3, select SNMPv3.
n If SNMPv2c is enabled on a device you want SolarWinds UDT to
monitor, by default, SolarWinds UDT will attempt to use SNMPv2c
to poll for performance information. If you only want SolarWinds
UDT to poll using SNMPv1, you must disable SNMPv2c on the
device to be polled.
b. If you have installed multiple polling engines, select the Polling
Engine you want to use to collect statistics from the added node.
Note: This option may not be available if you are only using one polling
engine to collect information from your network.
c. If the SNMP port on the added node is not the Orion Platform
default of 161, provide the actual port number in the SNMP Port field.
d. If the added node supports 64bit counters and you want to use
them, check Allow 64bit counters.
Note: Orion Platform fully supports the use of 64-bit counters; however,
these high capacity counters can exhibit erratic behavior depending on
manufacturer implementation. If you notice peculiar results when using
these counters, use the Node Details view to disable the use of 64-bit
counters for the device and contact the hardware manufacturer.
10.
If you want Orion Platform to use SNMPv2c to monitor the added node,
provide valid community strings for the added node.
Note: The Read/Write Community String is optional, but Orion Platform does
require the public Community String, at minimum, for node monitoring. If you
want to use read/write SNMPv3 credentials, complete the following steps in the
Read / Write SNMPv3 Credentials area.
11.
If you want Orion Platform to use SNMPv3 to monitor the added node,
provide the following SNMP Credentials, Authentication, and
Privacy/Encryption settings:
n SNMPv3 Username, Context, Authentication Method, and Password.
Note: If this password is a key, check Password is a key.
n SNMPv3 Privacy/Encryption Method and Password.
Note: If this password is a key, check Password is a key.
