After the initial discovery and modeling of the network, IP Performance Manager continuously monitors the status of the discovered systems using:

  • Internet Control Message Protocol (ICMP) polling

  • Simple Network Management Protocol (SNMP) polling

    IP Performance Manager also processes SNMP trap messages received from the network to obtain status information for the discovered systems.

    The IP Manager Reference Guide provides information about the MIBs polled and SNMP traps processed by the IP Performance Manager.
