  • Thanks casanave, this is what we had already put in place. Unfortunately it takes more time and also de-values solarwinds as the one stop place for managing IPSLA. Which has led to reduced buy in from departments to continue using Solarwinds. I also agree that it's not Solarwinds fault, unfortunately perception is hard to…

  • Raised this with Solarwinds support and they have come back stating it is a Cisco issue and they can do nothing. Does anyoe have any good contacts at Cisco that they can push this MIB issue?

  • Hi adeyeyea, I would highly doubt this would be possible... It's not really a good idea to make the snmp accessable via a loopback address that is exposed to the internet.
