Lab01 Network Management - jwells24/Tech-Journal GitHub Wiki

Notes on SNMP

  • SNMP: Simple Network Management Protocol is used to monitor computers on a network.

  • SNMP uses the command snmpwalk to return data about a system and its network activity when ran from a network monitor server. Ex. snmpwalk -Os -c SYS265 -v2c web01-jack system

  • SNMP must be allowed through the firewall along with UDP, and it must be enabled and activated. It also must be installed on the network monitor as well as the host system.

  • SNMP services can also be enabled via server manager on windows. The SNMP feature can be installed on to any server managed in server manager.

Lab Overview

  • First, we start of this lab by configuring web01 and enabling snmp services in our firewall. Next, we configure our network monitor nm01 and enable snmp services. Next, we add snmp sevices to web01 and run an snmpwalk on web01 from nmon01, accessing nmon01 from an ssh session in mgmt01. Next, we enable snmp services for ad01 and mgmt01 from server manager. At the end of the lab, we observe tcp data from web01.
