Hi,
In solarwinds how we configure the SNMP V3 trap.We didnot find any we SNMP trap configure In Solarwinds Dashboard.Only we have SNMP Trap viewer Section(Alerts & activity>Traps) for showing the Received Traps.In these section we have Filter option for the SNMP V1 and V2 traps only.We didnot find any Configuration section for SNMP V3 Trap.
So kindly please share How we configure SNMP v3 Trap in solarwinds.
I'm looking for a complete list of built-in variables that I could use in NCM scripts or change templates.
Specifically, I'm trying to mass change the hostname and domain of Cisco devices based on the Node Name in Solarwinds database. We recently adopted a new naming convention, so we re-named the devices in NPM / NCM hoping to automate the process of renaming the devices itself.
I want to run a script that would look something like this:
conf t
hostname ${NodeName}
ip domain-name ${NodeDomain}
exit
wri mem
But I can't seem to find the correct variables to use. I saw a list of NCM global variables listed in the Admin Guide, but didn't find what I was looking for. I was thinking of parsing out the domain and hostname out of the Solarwinds Node name.
Any help would be appreciated.
I am trying to find a process to do a IOS update on several stacks of 3850 switches. Has anyone run into this issue?
Thanks
Hello Support,
Can someone let me know if its possible to get a complete inventory, (including serial numbers) of our network devices in Solarwinds

I was excited when I saw that 7.5 is going to support binary downloads. I'm hoping that will allow me to download configs from some PA-200 firewalls as XML, rather than the text (?) output that is currently getting pulled.
I opened a case a few months back with support and they basically said it can't be done currently (7.4.1). I'm hoping this can now happen?
I then tried to get SCP working to download manually, but there was a bug with SCP/TFTP server that was preventing this from happening (spent 2 hours on screenshare with support and we were unable to get the TFTP server to start and run properly.
So I'm hopeful in 7.5 that either I can download the configs natively, or TFTP server is now working properly or better yet, BOTH!
Any tips or tricks greatly appreciated.

Hello,
I need to figure out a way to run a report that gives me graphs of ports that have 802.1x configuration against ports that do not have 802.1x configuration. The test can be against one or multiple specific configuration lines in the switches running configuration (example: "mab" or "dot1x pae authenticator"). I have a report that is running in NCM Compliance Policy Reports but I need a better report that I can show management regarding our access layer compliance. I was thinking there might be a way to make this report in the report writer.
If anyone has ever done anything like this, I would love to get some help or assistance with creating this report.
Thanks!
Dave
Currently only NCM Administrators & NPM Administrators can use the firmware upgrade features available.
We have tested, and these are working well, we are about to test the stack switch upgrade (another feature request coming so this is not a workaround) but I cannot give engineers the permissions without giving them system admin rights also!
under iso 27001 and psn compliance there must be appropriate separation of duties and security. You can have all staff who have permissions to upgrade firmware change any settings in the entire solarwinds system - including their own permissions!

Hi,
Please find the few SolarWinds Platform Interview questions:

I have upgraded from NCM 7.8 to 7.9 and NPM to 12.4. I still get the error message that the Database mgr cannot find the file. Also NCM has the start transfer error because of this. I uninstalled orion and its components, it created the credentialstorage folder but empty. Please help

Could not find file 'C:\ProgramData\SolarWinds\CredentialStorage\SolarWindsDatabaseAccessCredential.json'.

OK

When I look at the "Interface Details" of one of my devices in NCM, I see that the "Admin Status" is up on my ppp interface while the "Status" (Operational Status) is down. What is the difference between these fields? My device is on a cellular network and the only way to communicate with the device is over the ppp interface. I have a customer who is using NPM and is basically seeing the same "down" value when they view their node dashboard and the ppp interface.
I recently had to add some monitoring of HP switches to my Cisco network. HP switches are not my strong suit but I wanted to provide my documented steps to assist other people. Hopefully this will help someone else. The first part is the commands as I put them in the switch so you can see what happens. parts in red are the commands and the bold is what is going on. Part two is the commands only so you can copy and edit them for your deployment with out have to change a lot of stuff. Part 3 is the Orion server configuration.
HP Switch SNMPv3 configuration (tested on ProCurve 2910al-24G)
HP_TEST_SWITCH(config)# snmpv3 enable enables SNMPv3
SNMPv3 Initialization process.
Creating user 'initial' creates SNMP user initial by default
Authentication Protocol: MD5
Enter authentication password: ****** sets MD5 password for user initial
Privacy protocol is DES
Enter privacy password: ****** sets DES password for user initial
User 'initial' is created
Would you like to create a user that uses SHA? No exit SNMP wizard
User creation is done. SNMPv3 is now functional.
Would you like to restrict SNMPv1 and SNMPv2c messages to have read onlyaccess (you can set this later by the command 'snmp restrict-access'): no Keeps SNMPv1 and v2 enabled. Type yes if you want to disable them.
HP_TEST_SWITCH(config)#
HP_TEST_SWITCH(config)# snmpv3 user USER_NAME_YOU_CREATE auth md5 PASSWORD_YOU_CREATE priv aes PASSWORD_YOU_CREATE creates a new SNMPv3 user you specify
HP_TEST_SWITCH(config)# snmpv3 group managerpriv user USER_NAME_YOU_CREATE sec-model ver3 adds the user you created to the managerpriv group (this group is required)
HP_TEST_SWITCH(config)# no snmpv3 user initial removes the SNMPv3 user “initial” for security reasons this is a best practice
HP_TEST_SWITCH(config)# ip authorized-managers XXX.XXX.XXX.XXX XXX.XXX.XXX.XXX access operator IP address should be set to the Orion server. This allows that IP access at the operator level
HP_TEST_SWITCH(config)# snmp-server response-source dst-ip-of-request locks the source and destination allowed for the SNMP request.*
HP_TEST_SWITCH(config)# logging XXX.XXX.XXX.XXX IP address should be the IP address of the Orion server. Send you switch logs your Orion server.
HP_TEST_SWITCH(config)#
Commands only
snmpv3 enable

SNMPv3 Username: USER_NAME_YOU_CREATE
SNMPv3 Authentication

*My definition of this may not be correct.
Again hopefully this will help someone else in the future.

Hello
We just installed NCM, and Netflow. Right now I am mainly trying to get familiar with NCM so I can utilize it to make my life easier. I am a Jr Network Admin for an Enterprise atmosphere. Its a large oil refinery. Lots of switches out in the field. I would like to get it set up so that I do a lot from Solarwinds and have some scripts set up to just be able to execute..Here is a list of the things I want to be able to use it for. Hopefully I can get it all set up little by little.
To be able to execute commands from Solarwinds for basic troubleshooting, Vlan adds, changes, show log, show run, sh int status, etc
Set it up to detect various vulnerabilities
Notify me of end of life devices
Push firmware upgrades right from Solarwinds
maybe reload commands,
Is there a way to just import all my devices into NCM that are already being monitored in Solarwinds.
I plan on taking some of the online classes but for starters I would like to get everything set up to do the commands and services I use daily.
Maybe i can get input from anyone who has already set this up and are using it?
Thanks
Rob

I am getting this error message from some switches, routers and firewalls when NCM is trying to take the running configuration from the device.
ERROR: Cannot download Running config : Connection Refused by A.B.C.D.
Can anyone suggest from solutions for this?
Hello everyone! Hopefully I can get some assistance. I'm new to NCM, like I installed it this past Monday, so less than a week familiar with the product. Recently, we had an issue where we found that an important ACL (no compliance tool in place) was on some network devices, but not others. To add to the headache, in some places it was outdated.
I was introduced to the Script Manager today which is helpful. However, I'm wondering if there is a way to check every network device for an ACL and check the individual ACEs. So if the ACL is not there, to apply it, and check to see if it has the required lines, adding/removing as needed. We are an all Cisco shop if that helps.
I appreciate any help I can get with this issue. Thank you in advance.
