ICMP and SNMP polling overview

After the initial discovery and modeling of the network, the
IP Manager
uses Internet Control Message Protocol (ICMP) and Simple Network Management Protocol (SNMP) polling to monitor the status of the discovered systems. The type of ICMP and SNMP polling that
IP Manager
uses depends upon the protocol of the discovered systems.
The
IP Manager
uses ICMP and SNMP to discover and poll IPv4-only, IPv6-only, and dual-stack systems in the managed network environment. The
IP Manager
supports IPv4 ICMP, IPv6 ICMP, IPv4 SNMP, and IPv6 SNMP. IPv4 ICMP and IPv6 ICMP are also known as ICMPv4 and ICMPv6.
The parameters for controlling ICMP and SNMP polling and for setting thresholds for polled data are accessed through the Polling and Thresholds Console.
