Natchata, The best option I can think of for this scenario would be to draw your parent map with Map A and Map B on it, then create a manual connection between them. Then on the manual link properties, you can associate the uplinks for distribution switch A to one side (the Map A side), and the Core switch B to the other…

fitzy141‌, I'm assuming you upgraded from 11.5 to 11.5.1? Like most, I've been wanting to upgrade to 11.5 for all the new cool features, but I'm waiting because of all the issues I've seen posted. I'm curious if the upgrade path from 11.1 to 11.5.1 is any better. Also, did you try re-running the configuration wizard to…

Could this be part of your issue? Re: Problems with Extreme and SNMPv3 in Orion D

* Is this the same Extreme device type you've deployed before, or is it a new model? * Is this Extreme device using the same OS as the others in your environment, or is it a new version? D

Have you looked into using NetPath? D

davidb35467​, From an element monitoring perspective, 1 primary server should be plenty to monitor everything. However, based on a network design/global reach perspective, I'd think you would be better served with a 3rd poller. Poller 1 for UK/EU, poller 2 for US, and poller 3 for HK. Polling from London to HK, I'm…

beachitguy​, This is going to sound simple and silly, but are you using <domain>\username in the username field? Also, are you using a strong password with special characters? You might try a password that doesn't have special characters, sometimes they get misinterpreted as variables or OS special characters. D

Michal or anyone, 1. Does Cisco hardware support include UCS? 2. Typically, how long before a Release Candidate becomes a formal release? 3. Please pass along to all SW staff...I really like all the new enhancements to all the modules (Orion Core 2012.1.1, SAM 5.2.0, IPAM 3.0, NCM 7.0.2, NPM 10.3.1, NTA 3.10.0, IVIM 1.4.0,…

lwri​, Do you also have NPM? If so, and you are monitoring the APs and wireless controllers...you already have a pre-built canned report that provides this detail. Look under "Reports" for a report called "Wireless Host Mapping." D

Is it a requirement to be placed on the dashboard? There is a built-in report "All Disk Volumes Inventory Report" that already does this for you. You could even schedule it to be e-mailed to the person or team daily/monthly. D

hrishkesh‌, I found your other posting too https://supportforums.cisco.com/discussion/12524921/netflow-v9-configuration-capturing-both-upload-and-download-utilization-along The configuration you have will provide utilization and analysis. As other references, here's the SolarWinds doc for configuring Netflow:…

We've not seen this (we aren't on 4.x), but I wanted to offer some input. Our Cisco rep told us not to go to 4.x yet, it's not a stable, proven version yet. Curious why you are running the latest? We are being told to use the latest 3.x. D

mrinfosecurity, This is a bit complicated, because Orion doesn't provide this functionality. As newkidd2 mentioned, you can configure an alert if the APs are Lightweight (LWAPP, thin) and controller based. However, Orion doesn't support all controllers, so the alert might not work. Another way is to use port-security on…

Found this doc: Custom SWQL query to find muted nodes or interfaces - SolarWinds Worldwide, LLC. Help and Support D

CAVEAT: I didn't write this, and I'm not an SWQL expert! One of my peers installed the SWQL jdk and wrote this custom SWQL that reports on "unmanaged" nodes. I'm sure you (or some SWQL Thwacker) can use it as an example to take it further for all of us. D SELECT 'Unmanaged' as [Status] n.Caption AS [Node],…

Wilmer, NPM settings are based on seconds, so it is possible to configure 30 second polling on an interface. However, I'm not so certain you should do so. Your device will be so busy responding to your queries, you'll create your own performance bottleneck by over polling. I think you could potentially configure 30 sec…

Hey, now...don't be using blanket statements lumping us all together in that category. I can see the point your developers are trying to make, they put a lot of time and work into their setup/system and they are proud of it; and I've had that same argument with peers and coworkers (usually developers). But as a network…

What settings are on the device interface? Assuming it's a 1GB interface (not sure it's possible to get 500MB through a 100MB interface ), someone may have used the "bandwidth" or "speed" commands and set the interface to 100MB. Once you confirmed the interface is properly configured for the new speed, then follow…

I reached out to some buddies and an integrater, for more info as well. Here's the scoop from what I was told...and it was my fault for not understanding the architecture well enough. Yes, APM 4 and SAM 5 can be installed on separate server; however...and here's the caveat...if APM/SAM are installed on separate servers…

Out of curiosity, when you perform a "List Resources" on a device that you changed, do you have Topology Layer 2 enabled? If not, try that and rediscover. D

Roselyn, If you are using Internet Explorer 6 (who does anymore), it works great. However, Microsoft rewrote most of Internet Explorer when they released IE7 and 8, and it broke this functionality. The only way to get the SSH or Telnet icons to work now is by using the application registration procedure. I haven't tested…
