SolarWinds UDT - Shutting down a Network Device Port; Creating and Managing a Watch List

Give the resource an appropriate title (for example, "Cisco Ports Usage").
16. Under Groups select the name of the group you created (for example, "Cisco
Ports").
17. Click Submit.
The chart now shows you the percentage of usage for all grouped ports on your Cisco
devices.
Shutting Down a Network Device Port
Scenario: UDT is listing an endpoint on my network as rogue. I want to shut down
access to the endpoint immediately while I investigate.
To find and shut down the relevant device port:
1. Click the endpoint in the Rogue Devices resource.
2. Click the node port in the Current Network Connections resource on Endpoint
Details.
3. Click the Shutdown button in the Port Details resource.
Creating and Managing a Watch List
Scenario: I need to create a watch list to be alerted when certain IP or MAC
addresses, or a certain user, connects to the network.
This scenario assumes that you have already discovered appropriate nodes and
ports,and that you haveadded an Active Directory domain controller and
appropriate credentials for UDT to use in retrieving user information. For more
information on discovery, see Adding Multiple Devices (Network Sonar Discovery); for
more information on adding a domain controller and credentials, see Adding Active
Directory Controllers and Users.
To create a watch list:
1. Click the DEVICE TRACKER tab, if not already selected.
2. Click MANAGE LIST on the Device Watch List resource.
3. Click Add Device/User.
4.
Select an object type (MAC address, IP address, hostname, or username) and
enter a valid string.
