Hi all,
I installed one server with only one NIC card. I enabled SNMP service. when i add that server into solarwinds, morethan 15 local area connection available. what should i do? Here i attached the capture. But, i have only one.
Windows 2008 Server is shipped with this miniport driver as well. This is required in case of secure VPN tunnel connections. it offers tunelling PPP traffic over a secured SSL channel. Therefore, it increases security due to encryption and traffic integrity checking.
A Miniport driver is a hardware-specific driver that manages the NIC (Network Interface Card), it sends and receives data through the NIC. Moreover, the driver also inter-communicates with higher layer/level transport protocols and drivers.
There are a few WAN Miniport drivers: WAN Miniport (IP), WAN Miniport (L2TP), WAN Miniport (PPPOE), WAN Miniport (PPTP), and optionally others such as the WAN Miniport (Network Monitor) and the WAN Miniport (SSTP).
Depending your connection requirements and other needs, some of these miniports are necessary, others are optional, or not needed at all. For example, if you are having a broadband ADSL Internet connection via PPPOE then the said Miniport driver is required. The IP and L2TP are also required along with PPTP. As a rule of thumb, the first four are required, and starting from Windows XP, the operating systems are incorporating these technologies.
You can ignore these to monitor in Orion if not required . by only selecting your PHYSICAL OR VIRTUAL NIC's (Under Network Adapters >Device Manager > )
- Also you can ignore "Unwanted" and add in ignored discovery list not to discover for next discovery .
