Best way to add unreacheable devices ?
Hi !
I want to monitor multiple WinXP worktstations which will send SNMP Traps, but I won't do any polling of the device.
Situation is : There is a varying number of workstation in a DHCP range say 300 desktop in the 192.168.10.50 to 192.168.11.249 range. In opmanager, if the device (IP) is not created, the Trap is dropped (They dont even show in Unsollicited Traps) So I must create each possible IP in my Desktop category, Wich wont be polled, but the SNMP trap will be received. The IP adresses doesnt change often, but they do sometime and I dont want to have to add each new workstation every time one changes IP adress. (I dont really care the ID of the workstation, since we'll manage that IF there is a problem on the ip)
Issue is : I cant add Unreacheable Devices in OpManager by the Add Device option.
Solution in Opmanager that I wish to find... Can I create a device from scratch in the database, what Information do I need to do that ? And where ? I can look for it and eventually find it, but if support could help me, that probably would be faster :)
Other solution outside Opmanager : Does SNMP Proxies Exists ? Maybe my workstation could send all SNMP Traps to a fixed IP Computer which could then send back the traps to OpManager... (The Idea of all this is to have only 1 central management /warning tool, instead of multiple places to watch.) I agree this is not of Opmanager support resort, but maybe they or other forum'sfolks have a solution for me.
Thanks for any Input !
