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.
