Network Discovery Question

[tigris1]

Hello,

I am having a small problem with resource discovery on a new installation of SMS. Using "Network Discovery" and scanning the local subnet only , I am not seeing any resources in the "All Systems" collections, except the SMS server itself. Is there a vital component that I am missing?

My SMS Setup:

- SQL2000 SP3a and SMS2003 are on Win2003 Domain Controller
- Only one primary site is installed
- SMS is running in advanced security mode
- The server's IP is static 172.28.128.50 /24
- The site boundary is 172.28.0.0
- The "Site Status", including all components is "OK"
- Logging is turned on
- Network Discovery is enabled for "Topology and Client"

Things I tried:

1. Verified that the local resources to be discovered are in the arp cache of the SMS server's default gateway and can be successfully pinged.

2. Checked the Netdisc.log that only shows the servers's IP discovered

3. Rebooted the server

4. Verified that SQL server is running


Thank you in advance,
Dmitry

To All,

Success! The network discovery is now operational.

Steps to get me there:

1. Add SNMP community string to the router
2. Configure "network discovery" SNMP tabs with "community name" and "community device" - (router).
3. Once SMS talks SNMP with the router, it is able to read and retrieve all ip addressable devices from the ARP table within my specified subnet range.
4. "All Collections" are now populated with IP addresses of my workstations, wireless AP, and the router.

Now onto the agent push and then MSI package push.
