Discovery based on SNMP only

therealdarkkyle — Fri, 21 Sep 2012 15:22:23 GMT

Hi,

Is it possible that HP SIM 7.0 discover devices only with SNMP?

The only ports witch are open on the firewall are UDP (161 /162).

I know that i can change the icmp by a tcp port but it's impossible to have a discovery with TCP or icmp in the network.

Thanks in advance,

Greg

Yes, SNMP should be sufficient as longs as you have the correct mibs registered

Does the discovery task fail saying unreachable?

You could try this;

Option -> Discovery

Above task, click on Configure general settings...

Check the box at the top; Automatically discover a system when a event is recived...

On the managed device, set snmp to point to CMS(SIM Server) and send a test event.

I have set the ICMP to use 161/162 TCP and then discover then set it back.
