I am having problems getting NPM to pull SNMP info from my servers running Server 2008r2. When I run the test on the community string, the test fails. Any suggestions what I should look for? I am very new to NPM, so please be patient with me. Thanks
You should check the properties of the SNMP Service to verify that your Orion poller is in the allowed Hosts list. Open Services then open Properties for the SNMP Service. Go to the Security tab. There are two radio buttons in the middle of the tab: Accept SNMP packets from any host; Accept SNMP packets from these hosts. If the second is selected, you may need to add the IP address(es) of your Orion pollers to the list. You should also check the READ ONLY community string to verify you have the correct string set up in Orion.
Good Luck!
Now I feel stupid. That worked. Thanks for the much needed kick in the head!
No problem. Glad I could help.
