Monitor NetFlow without SNMP Credentials.

jnathlich

Greetings,

We're runnint NPM 9.1.0, and have several 'managed' routers in our network that we don't have administrative access to.

We've talked to the vendor, and (for a fee), they are willing to send netflow data from those routers to our collector (orion).

So, I'm now getting the netflow error messages in orion saying 'please add the interface'.

The only protocol I can use to add those routers is ICMP, because we don't have SNMP credentials for them.

The 'real time netflow monitor' works fine on them. (assuming I shut the orion netflow service off first).

Is there any way to monitor the netflow traffic in Orion without having SNMP credentials on those routers?

If the SP will give you SNMP read only you will be fine. Having come from an SP background we used to do this when pushed.
