5.4.4 Checking the communication settings

Missing or incorrect SNMP community strings can result in incomplete discovery or can negatively affect discovery performance.

To verify the communication settings configured for a device, use the nnmcommconf.ovpl command or follow these steps:

1. Select the node in an inventory view.

2. Choose Actions, Configuration Details, and then Communication Settings.

   NNMi evaluates all region and default settings by using a specific node match and ordering number to obtain the displayed value.

3. In the Communication Configuration window, verify that the values listed in the SNMP configuration settings table are the settings you want NNMi to use for this node.

   If the communication settings are not correct, use the source information in the SNMP configuration settings table as a starting point for fixing the problem. You might need to change the configuration or the ordering number of a region or specific node.

Note

For VMware communication, verify the active settings in the Web Agent form or use the nnmcommunication.ovpl listWebAgentSettings command.

For more information, see the NNMi Help for Administer.
