For the most part, I ignore it.

I think my first PC was a Commodore PET. A TRS-80 came after that. seems so long ago (it was). My start in IT happened when somebody asked for help terminating IBM Type-1 cables. Cat-5 is easy in comparison. From cables, it went to installing and configuring switches, then routers, security. Never a dull day as network…

Done. That fixed it. Just for the benefit of anyone else needing a device template for RuggedCom devices, here's my device template: <!--SolarWinds Network Management Tools--> <!--Copyright 2007 SolarWinds.Net All rights reserved--> <Configuration-Management Device="RuggedCom Inc." SystemOID="1.3.6.1.4.1.15004.2.1">…

Yes. We found that patch last week. There is also an option in the ACS configuration that turns off the Security Agent and allows full access. But, that also opens the unit up to vulnerabilities. As far as using only SNMP, and not ICMP to monitor the node status in Solarwinds, the response I got back from Solarwinds is…

I'm able to retrieve the configs, and they show up under the device. I set enable level to no enable login. The system doesn't send that command anymore. But, it still sends ${Reset}. It looks like it's trying to reset the pagination. Is there a way to remove this?

I'm able to login now, and do a downloadconfigindirect (tftp put). When NCM telnets to the device, it enters "enable", but this is not a supported command. Is there a way to get rid of this? Here is the template as it stands. <!--SolarWinds Network Management Tools--> <!--Copyright 2007 SolarWinds.Net All rights…

I have a need to remove ICMP and use only SNMP. Is this possible? I am monitoring Cisco ACS systems. They don't respond to a PING but will output information via SNMP. Right now, I can set them up in NPM, but it reports them as non-responding because they fail a PING response.

from the CLI in the RuggedCom box, it would look like: tftp x.x.x.x put config.csv file_name whereas x.x.x.x is the address of the solarwinds server, put to send it there (get to retrieve it). Config.csv is the name of the local configuration file, and file_name is the name of the config file on the tftp server. (I don't…

This is all that is supported in the CLI. Enter 'help' for list of commands >help alarms Displays list of available alarms. clearalarms Clears all alarms. clearethstats Clears statistics for specified Ethernet port(s). clearlogs Clears the system and crash logs. cls Clears the screen delay Pause a specified number of…

That works better. When veiwing the login information when validating login, I get the following: Rugged Operating System Copyright (c) RuggedCom, 2008 - All rights reserved Enter User Name: adminadmin Enter Password: **********XXXXXXXXXXcambridge.sc01Main Menu admin accessAdministrationEthernet PortsEthernet…

here's the session trace from "validate login information" [7/7/2009 7:44:30 AM] -----------------NCM 5.5------------------- [7/7/2009 7:44:30 AM] Login Attempts: 1 [7/7/2009 7:44:30 AM] Custom UserName Prompt: [7/7/2009 7:44:30 AM] Device Template: [7/7/2009 7:44:30 AM] System Name: [7/7/2009 7:44:30 AM] System…

We are in a similar situation. We have the primary engine in one Data center as well as the SQL server. The second engine is in an off site location. They are connected with dark fibre at 10Gb. Lots of bandwidth, no latency. The questions is, how do I ensure SQL redundancy? I can cluster the SQL, but they point to a common…

here's the list of commangs from the CLI: Enter 'help' for list of commands >help alarms Displays list of available alarms. clearalarms Clears all alarms. clearethstats Clears statistics for specified Ethernet port(s). clearlogs Clears the system and crash logs. cls Clears the screen delay Pause a specified number of…

Did you ever get a device template created?

The template will log into the unit. Here's the menu after logging in: site_name Main Menu 4 ALARMS! Administration Ethernet Ports Ethernet Statistics Link Aggregation Spanning Tree Virtual LANs Port Security Classes of Service Multicast Filtering MAC Address Tables Network Discovery Diagnostics <CTRL> Z-Help S-Shell…

You can see in last menu that I posted, you can enter the TFTP host address. Currently, it shows here that it is x.x.x.x. I set this to the address of the Solarwinds server. I set the file name to match (what I think) is the name of the file that Solarwinds is expecting to see. When I do a validate login, it says it log's…

Here's the device template (a work in progress): <!--SolarWinds Network Management Tools--> <!--Copyright 2007 SolarWinds.Net All rights reserved--> <Configuration-Management Device="RuggedCom Inc." SystemOID="1.3.6.1.4.1.15004.2.1"> <Commands> <Command Name="EnterCLI" Value="${CTRL+S}"/> <Command Name="Reboot"…

Ecellant! I've been hoping for this feature for a while. I was just going through the custom property editor and noticed that if I toggle the "show advanced properties" check box, lat and long are already there. (NPM 10.2.2)

 Just found my answer. It can send out snmp traps. I just need to find out now if I can sent out alets via snmp traps and email, etc.
