Configuring SNMP for Windows Server 2016 and Windows Server 2012<\/a><\/h1>\n\n\n\n
To configure SNMP on a Windows server, you must:<\/p>\n\n\n\n
<\/a>Configuring Ping Responses<\/a><\/h2>\n\n\n\n
For SL1 to discover a device, including SNMP-enabled devices, the device must meet one of the following requirements:<\/p>\n\n\n\n
- \n
- The device must respond to an ICMP “Ping” request.<\/li>\n\n\n\n
- One of the ports selected in the Detection Method & Port field for the discovery session must be open on the device. If the Default Method option for the Detection Method & Port field is selected, SL1 scans TCP ports 21, 22, 23, 25, and 80.<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n\n\n\n
The default configuration for a Windows Server does not allow ICMP “Ping” requests and does not allow connections to TCP ports 21, 22, 23, 25, or 80. Therefore, to discover a Windows Server in SL1, you must perform one of the following tasks:<\/p>\n\n\n\n
- \n
- Reconfigure the firewall on the Windows Server to allow ICMP “Ping” requests. This section describes how to perform this task.<\/li>\n\n\n\n
- Reconfigure the firewall on the Windows Server to allow connections to port 21, 22, 23, 25, or 80. If you have already configured your Windows Server to accept SSH, FTP, Telnet, SMTP, or HTTP connections, this task might have been completed already. You should perform this task only if you were already planning to allow SSH, FTP, Telnet, SMTP, or HTTP connections to your Windows Server.<\/li>\n\n\n\n
- When you create the discovery session that will discover the Windows Server, select at least one port in the Detection Method & Port field that is open on the Windows Server. For example, if your Windows Server is configured as an MSSQL Server, you could select port 1433 (the default port for MSSQL Server) in the Detection Method & Port field.<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n\n\n\n
To reconfigure the firewall on a Windows Server to allow ICMP “Ping” requests, perform the following steps:<\/p>\n\n\n\n
- \n
- In the Start menu search bar, enter “firewall” to open a Windows Firewall with Advanced Security window.<\/li>\n<\/ol>\n\n\n\n
- \n
- In the left pane, select Inbound Rules.<\/li>\n\n\n\n
- If you want SL1 to discover your Windows Server using an IPv4 address, locate the File and Printer Sharing (Echo Request – ICMPv4-In) rule.<\/li>\n\n\n\n
- If you want SL1 to discover your Windows Server using an IPv6 address, locate the File and Printer Sharing (Echo Request – ICMPv6-In) rule.<\/li>\n<\/ol>\n\n\n\n
- \n
- Right click on the rule that you located, then select Enable Rule:<\/li>\n<\/ol>\n\n\n\n
