SNMP Light sensor

The SNMP Light sensor supports Level 1 discovery of SNMP network devices.

In Level 1 discovery profiles, use the SNMP Light sensor with the Stack Scan sensor to improve the accuracy of the discovery. In Level 2 or Level 3 discovery profiles, use the SNMP MIB2 sensor, which discovers additional data for building detailed Level 2 topologies.

The SNMP Light sensor gathers the data that is shown in the following tabs of the Details pane:
  • General
  • SNMP Info
The SNMP Light sensor and the SNMP MIB2 sensor gather generic information from the following object identifiers (OIDs):
