5.4 Evaluating communications

This section lists ways to evaluate the progress and success of the communication settings. Most of these tasks can be completed only after discovery has completed.

Consider the following:

• Are all nodes configured for SNMP?

  See 5.4.1 Checking all nodes for SNMP configuration.

• Is SNMP access currently available for a device?

  See 5.4.2 Checking SNMP access.

• Is the management IP address correct?

  See 5.4.3 Checking the management IP address for SNMP Devices.

• Is NNMi using the correct communication settings?

  See 5.4.4 Checking the communication settings.

• Do the State Poller settings agree with the communication settings?

  See 5.4.5 Checking whether the monitoring configuration matches the communication settings.
