https://community.hpe.com/t5/server-management-systems/manual-discovery-with-ping-turned-off/m-p/3221874#M1844 I've noticed that in both Insight Manager 7 and HP SIM that I'm not able to manually add devices at our other locations properly - In insight manager 7 they show up as "Legacy support using snmp" - In hp sim they show up with a red x beside "Hardware Status" and "From Ping" - the red x beside the "From Ping" leads me to believe that this is because we have ping turned off across most wan segments of our network - However, it's not a problem for the Windows based compaq insight manager 5.5 - on that version of insight manager I can manually add a device ... I know you guys are going to suggest that I turn ping on but that's not an option ... Is there some other way around this?<BR /> Wed, 17 Mar 2004 13:54:15 GMT Iain Whyte 2004-03-17T13:54:15Z https://community.hpe.com/t5/server-management-systems/manual-discovery-with-ping-turned-off/m-p/3221874#M1844 I've noticed that in both Insight Manager 7 and HP SIM that I'm not able to manually add devices at our other locations properly - In insight manager 7 they show up as "Legacy support using snmp" - In hp sim they show up with a red x beside "Hardware Status" and "From Ping" - the red x beside the "From Ping" leads me to believe that this is because we have ping turned off across most wan segments of our network - However, it's not a problem for the Windows based compaq insight manager 5.5 - on that version of insight manager I can manually add a device ...

There's an option in the Auto-Discovery section. E.g. the Remote Server has SNMP Configured to send SNMP traps to the CMS Server.<BR /><BR />Then you'll need SNMP or HTTP to keep in touch with the devices.<BR />You'll need at least one protocol available if you want IM to keep an eye on things.
