Multiple NIC and SNMP issues?

We are using ipMonitor 10 to monitor about 400 servers right now. We are moving forward with a new backup system that runs on a separate network. To make this work we are installing a secondary NIC in all of our systems. On my ipMonitor box after I installed the secondary NIC I started getting SNMP failures on most systems. So my question is, is this normal?

Setup:
NIC Team: internal network (default gateway set)
Secondary NIC: backup network  (no default gateway)

We are registering DNS for both as well. I'm trying to determine if the second NIC/network caused the issue or if it was something else. Using a SNMP test utility it would fail as well. I have since disabled the secondary NIC and things seem ok, but I did have to restart a great many systems' SNMP service before they came back online.

If it did cause the problem, is there a way to make ipMonitor only work via one of the connections? We aren't using Traps at all, just simple SNMP for things like drive space, CPU, etc.

Thanks!

  • We are experiencing the exact same situation after migrating ipMonitor 10.0.1 to a new server (W2k8R2).

    What is strange is the the old server (W2003)had multiple IP addresses on a single NIC and SNMP worked without any issues.

    THe issue appears whether we have mutiple ip addresses on a single NIC, or single addresses on multiple NICs.

  • Hi Brachus - could you please open a support ticket on this? Since we have two problems that are the same, we want to make sure we track the diagnosis and solution.
