Windows SNMP ?

[snoop]

Ok... Yet possably another dumb question, we all heard the old saying the only dumb question is the one that is not asked.... so please have mercy on me=)

I am very unexperenced with SNMP. I have just set it up on one of my Win2003 boxes. I read a little on how to configure it, but my confusion comes to play with the setting up of the trap destensions. I am completly clueless. Should this be the Switch IP/hostname, the server that cactid is running, or its own IP/hostname? Sorry to be so ignorant, but when I am creating the graphs in cacti, I keep testing different trap destinations and running the task to poll the server till I get data in the graph. The problem to this is that each new graph I create I have to run throught the process of adding and removing trap destinations till the data shows. Can some one please shed some light on this for me?


Many Thanks

Hi

You don't need anything in the Trap settings for WIN2K3 (or any other Windows box) to get cacti working.

I've had cacti working a WIN2K3 server for a while and the only setting I have is the Security Tab has a community name & Read-only and then an "Accept SNMP packets from any host", you could limit it to a specific host if you wanted. I also have the free version of SNMP-Informant installed from www.snmp-informant.com

If you're having problems I suggest you post some more details in a new thread, unfortunately I'm not experienced enough with cacti to be of much help to you.

Thanks for the reply, I did some more reading and found that is correct, the traps send errors to you if wanted or needed. I was a bit tired so I will try again some time today.


Thanks
