How SNMP Works - a quick guide

[@leonardolourencocrespilhoh511]

Man... I saw literally dozens of videos trying to understand OIDs and MIBs and I failed every time. I had even given up. This is the best explanation for sure! Thanks a lot!

[@PriyaSharma-bb8qt]

I TOTALLY AGREE!!..

[@x7331x]

Exactly the same, watched and read tons of stuff and they all caused more harm than good. This video is gold!

[@blasaloth]

Paid for 2 Network+ courses from different vendors and neither explained MIBs and OIDs this well. Thank you.

[@andyle3016]

Best 5 minutes of my life spent.

[@nagiosvideo]

We think its pretty useful too!

[@rleo015]

The presenter does such a fantastic job of explaining it in an easy to understand way. Great job!

[@nagiosvideo]

Thank you Ryan! We'll pass that on to Aaron. Stay tuned: he has more great SNMP videos on the way!

[@shivamgarg3491]

I am a servicenow developer, in servicenow we have service mapping which is using OID and MIB concept, after watching this video it is very simple for me to understand it

[@nagiosvideo]

Great, We're glad this was helpful!

[@sahmad2084]

bset vedio for SNMP in simple way :) thxxxxx from palastine

[@nagiosvideo]

Most welcome 😊

[@deshangunatunga4175]

I'm new to networking and this was easy to understand and digest. Thank you!

[@nagiosvideo]

You're so welcome!

[@berndmayinger7218]

Wow...I rarely comment below videos but this here deserves it. At first I was wondering how you could pack all your stuff from the agenda in (understandable!) 6 minutes, but you were able to manage it. Amazing work.

[@nagiosvideo]

Glad it was helpful!

[@Aerospaceman]

This is a very good and simple to understand video with a good flow, I'm studying for my CEH - already have my SEC+ and this video hits the spot. Thank You

[@nagiosvideo]

Glad it was helpful!

[@rpviper666]

I don't know how many videos I have seen about SNMP, but none of them explained as clearly as you did.

[@AmazingJayB51]

Seems like a great instructor, he seems to enjoy teaching.

[@simplemoose]

Yo, honestly. I love watching this video. The way you talk, the flow of the subject, and the structure of the video makes everything seem very welcoming and easy to understand. I dig this video a lot. It might be because of how sleepy I am having a good time goodnight.

[@Fractal227]

TIME TO BE DANGEROUS!

[@sandyresident3631]

VERY, VERY good video. Very concise and provides literally, what you need to know to get going. REALLY well-done!

[@nagiosvideo]

Glad it was helpful!

[@siddhartharao1484]

Wow! So well explained. Never really understood SNMP so well. Thank you for this video Nagios.

[@SovietFrontier]

Definitely one of the best videos on this. Presentation + layout = very well done!

[@parabellum.6318]

❤ Thanks sir very well explain. Nagios is network monitoring device use to communicate with devices like temperature sensors using snmp protocol.

[@sust77]

Well this video is the definition of no non sense, to the point ,crisp and clear , thanks for saving our time and efforts

[@guillermosocorro1832]

What easy could become IT world if everyone explain like this guy. Thanks!

[@f4z0]

Ah! At last. This is the kind of crash course I was looking for. Big Thanks!

[@frighteningspoon]

It should be said that v2c and v3 substantially increases the load on devices since they need to authenticate each one with the given information. This is usually just a concern for big networks

[@AbhishekVerma-kj9hd]

Best explanation available on youtube

[@nagiosvideo]

Glad this was helpful!

[@jgillj]

Wanted a quick refresher and this video covered all 👍👍 very clean and precise

[@nagiosvideo]

You are welcome!

[@ComatoseMN]

Thanks for the explanation!! On an unrelated note, there’s a channel on KZbin called ‘ETA Prime’ that mostly dabbles in single board devices like Raspberry Pi. You sound JUST like that guy. Your voices are eerily similar. Anyway, thanks again!! >M

[@famfeld]

Thanks for the useful info. I appreciate it.

[@Hackaholics]

Thanks a lot for this , best explanation ever !!!!

[@JamesOfKS]

head check for me: a MIB outlines the friendly names for OIDs and OID are 'addresses' to specific monitors. and traps are the results of your monitor being sent back to you?

[@slick_G]

great explanation!

[@RanaMuhammadWaqas]

A nice Overview

[@trendyniro]

Sire! you must be holding a degree for a simple explanation!

[@az-zp5qk]

[@cojojacobs3538]

Awesome video

[@888katui]

Can you show how to monitor Cisco WLC please cause now I stuck with it thanks

[@nagiosvideo]

Hi Katui, thanks for your question! We would monitor that device just like any other. First, we would identify which metrics we want to monitor on the device. Then we would find the OIDs associated with the things we want to monitor. Then we would use a network monitoring system like Nagios XI to actually do the monitoring. You can download Nagios XI from the link in the video description. Nagios XI has a Configuration Wizard that allows you to identify the IP/DNS of the device, specify the authentication for the device, and then you specify the OIDs you wish to monitor. For more detailed information, or to work with a technician in regards to this monitoring, please email [e-mail].

[@iliketrains6960]

Awesome

[@sakhilraj5606]

Mibs and oids... Finally

[@lokeshloku7676]

❤❤❤ wonderful

[@elmorsliabdellah6291]

brilliant

[@pancholuna01]

whats the name of the song you used for the intro? @nagiosvideo

[@mkumarcyber]

one the best video i seen best explanation

[@amarindersingh7675]

nice & short

[@888katui]

How can we identify the OID and MIB of each devices such as Cisco WLC and UPS or SAN storage? Thanks in advance

[@nagiosvideo]

Hi Katui! Thanks for your question. Usually when I need a MIB or the manufacturer's document that tells me the OIDs I can monitor, I will do a simple internet search like in the video (3:07). I will generally search using manufacturer's name, the model number of the device, and then the term MIB. For example, when I google "Cisco 2960 MIB" I get the information I need to monitor that specific device. Give it a shot!

[@888katui]

@@nagiosvideo I stuck with no response from 10.2.91.xx:161 this case I try to monitor my Cisco WLC CPU. Thanks for advise

[@nagiosvideo]

Katui CSP - Hi Katui, thanks for the response. There can a number of reasons XI would not receive a response. The device might be down, the device might have an internal configuration error, or there might be a network issue. This comment section here is a difficult place to do a thorough troubleshooting, but I will say that you can get free assistance from our support technicians on the Nagios Support Forum support.nagios.com/forum/ . Here is a video on how to register and post to the forum kzbin.info/www/bejne/boDGgKiGbrSnf5Y

[@danchisholm1]

starts at 0:43

[@brusslee1814]

word based oid = mib?

[@nagiosvideo]

Basically, a MIB is a file that details out information about different OIDS but can be easily compared to a DNS where domain names (words) are converted into IP addresses.
