1. Microsoft Security Bulletin: Remote code execution vulnerability in Windows Common Controls
   Issue: Microsoft has released a critical security bulletin. "Microsoft Security Bulletin MS12-027" addresses a vulnerability in Windows Common Controls that could permit remotely executed code. Specifically, the vulnerable file is mscomctl.OCX, located by default in C:\Windows\SysWOW64\. From th ...
2. What object identifiers (OIDs) does Switch Port Mapper require?
   Switch Port Mapper uses the following OIDs: OID Name OID Value Management MIB2 Interfaces 1.3.6.1.2.1.2 Management MIB2 IP ipNetToMedia Table 1.3.6.1.2.1.4.22 Ethernet MIB dot3Stats Table 1.3.6.1.2.1.10.7.2 Management MIB2 dot1dBridge 1.3.6.1.2.1.17 ManagementMIB2 ifMIB ifMIBOb ...
3. How do I add an SNMP v3 Node?
   This Technical Reference, Implementing SNMP v3, describes how to add SNMPv3 devices to Orion management. The paper maps the required SNMPv3 fields to the Orion dialog fields used to add an SNMPv3 node.
4. Getting Started with Switch Port Mapper
   One of the most common tasks performed by network engineers is identifying the port on which a specific device is connected on a switch. Switch Port Mapper remotely discovers devices connected to each port on a switch or hub. Additionally, Switch Port Mapper discovers the MAC address, IP addres ...
5. How do I enable monitoring of my virtual interfaces on my Cisco Nexus 1000v?
   To enable monitoring of virtual interfaces on Cisco Nexus 1000v virtual switches, perform the commands: n1000v# config t n1000v(config)# interface veth 2 n1000v(config-if)# snmp trap link-status For more information, see http://www.cisco.com/en/US/docs/switches/datacenter/nexus1000/sw/4_0_4_s_v ...
6. Can't see all Cisco Catalyst ports in Switch Port Mapper
   If you do not specify a VLAN in the community string, many Catalyst switches only show the BRIDGE-MIB for VLAN1. To see the BRIDGE-MIB for other VLANs, you must specify them in the community string. Examples If the read-only community string is public, use public@25 to read the BRIDGE-MIB for V ...
7. Error message: "MIB Not Supported" on Extreme Switches
   The Bridge MIB needs to be enabled. The command is "enable snmp dot1dTpFdbTable"
8. Slow retrieval of MAC forwarding database from Extreme switches and routers
   The MAC forwarding table is not directly handled by the main CPU on an Extreme switch and must be retrieved indirectly by the main CPU from the forwarding ASICs. Because the CPU must wait to interrupt the forwarding ASICs to retrieve MAC table entries, MAC forwarding table SNMP get requests will ...
9. Network scans show MAC addresses but not IP addresses
   The Switch Port Mapper requires that you enter a Switch/Hub on the left-hand side and a router on the right-hand side in order to map MAC Addresses to IP Addresses.
10. Error message: "Bridge MIB is Unsupported" when you try to map a Cisco Catalyst device
    The Catalyst switch includes one instance of the standard BRIDGE-MIB for each Virtual LAN in the switch. If the read-only community string is "public" and the read-write community string is "private", one would use "public@25" to read the BRIDGE-MIB for VLAN 25 and use "private@33" to read and w ...
11. VLAN ports not shown in Switch Port Mapper
    The Catalyst switch includes one instance of the standard BRIDGE-MIB for each Virtual LAN in the switch. If the read-only community string is "public" and the read-write community string is "private", one would use "public@25" to read the BRIDGE-MIB for VLAN 25 and use "private@33" to read and w ...
12. Missing data or time outs when mapping a network containing Dell switches
    Attempting to map a network containing Dell switches using the default SNMP settings of Switch Port Mapper may result in timeouts that make it appear as if the Switch Port Mapper is not functioning correctly. This is because SNMP agents on some Dell switches respond more slowly than is typical f ...
