Use an SNMP tester to easily access network device status and ensure network health
Automatically discover and poll network devices
Admins can use the SNMP protocol within Network Performance Monitor (NPM) to discover and add network nodes. For large networks, Network Sonar Discovery Wizard makes it simple to add bulk nodes. Alternatively, admins can select individual nodes for monitoring and add them to the Orion® Platform by providing their hostname or IP address then selecting SNMP as the polling method.
Admins can also set how often NPM should update hardware health stats and topology details. NPM will then automatically poll devices to compile a real-time overview of system health, even across dynamic networks featuring equipment from multiple vendors.

Do you find yourself asking…
Simple Network Management Protocol (SNMP) has been in use since 1988 as a standard for monitoring and managing network devices on a TCP/IP network. Available in three versions, SNMP is still used today to collect and organize key information about IP devices and their components.
