Frequently Answers and Questions

What types of devices can I manage with the NMS300?

The NMS300 can manage NETGEAR switches, firewalls, and wireless access points. It can also discover and monitor the status of third-party devices that support standard SNMP MIBs.

How do I prepare my devices for discovery?

You need to upgrade your devices to the latest firmware, configure the correct device credentials (user names, passwords, and SNMP community strings), and ensure that each device is set to send SNMPv1 or SNMPv2 traps to the NMS300 server.

How do I discover devices on my network?

You can use either Quick Discovery or a Discovery Profile. Quick Discovery is a quick and easy method but gives you limited control. A Discovery Profile allows you to filter devices by IP address, subnet, hostname, or other criteria.

How do I configure the email server for alerts and alarm notifications?

You need to provide your SMTP server settings, including the host name, port number, authentication information, and whether to use SSL.

What are device groups, and how do I manage them?

Device groups allow you to organize your devices for easier management. You can create static groups (fixed list of devices) or dynamic groups (automatically updated list based on filter criteria).
