SNMP Scanner
Easily discover and map devices with SNMP scanning tools
Run SNMP device discovery to collect detailed information
With SolarWinds® Network Performance Monitor (NPM), users can employ a robust SNMP discovery tool to easily discover SNMP-enabled devices on their network. With the aid of the Orion® Discovery Wizard, they can run SNMP sweep and discovery and specify the devices they want to monitor through Active Directory or by scanning IP address ranges or subnets. Additionally, they can use the Orion Web Console to create custom properties for discovered devices.
Visually map your network with a robust SNMP scanner
In complex networks, it’s important to create topology maps to stay up-to-date with the ins and outs of users and devices. With NPM, users can leverage SNMP scanning to easily detect network topology and create maps visually displaying network performance metrics. This allows users to view and update the physical and logical relationships between network devices like routers, switches, and servers.
Poll device MIBs with an SNMP scanner to gather performance metrics
Network Performance Monitor uses SNMP scanning to poll the management information bases (MIBs) on your devices so you can quickly and accurately collect critical performance metrics. Once device data is aggregated, NPM displays this information in fully customizable dashboards and charts. This enables IT teams to better monitor network fault and the availability of their devices. This helps them detect, isolate, and resolve any potential performance issues occurring on the network.

Do you find yourself asking…
SNMP scanning is the process of using a Simple Network Management Protocol (SNMP) to collect valuable data about the state of devices on a network.
SNMP polling helps users gather information about the managed devices on their network, and they can use this information to modify and regulate network settings and activity.
Although devices can utilize several protocols, SNMP is one of the most popular choices for its ease of use and ubiquity. This ubiquity is important because users need their devices to be able to connect to this network, even if they’re made by different manufacturers. There are many SNMP devices available, including switches, bridges, routers, access servers, computer hosts, hubs, and printers.
