SYS265 Lab 1 - Robertsegee/TechJournals GitHub Wiki

2/11/21 Network Management lab: In this lab we set up two more vms under the names of nmon and web as well as configured SNMP. One thing that gave me trouble with this lab was remotely administering ad01 from mgmt. The problem I ran into was the security section not showing up on SNMP service properties, without it I would not be able to filter the packets. I fixed this by reinstalling SNMP tools onto mgmt, I believe the problem was that there was due to an error in the first installation. Another problem I ran into was accessing the SNMP directory, initially, I was unable to access the directory with the error of it not existing. I realized the error was due to me misspelling SNMP when I installed it on nmon. Another issue I ran into was capturing the packets on web01. I was able to get the packets but was unable to view the contents so I could not verify if the community string was there. After I messed around with the command format I was able to get it correct and then see the community string there.
