Learn how SNMP collects data from managed devices via SNMP agents, uses MIBs, and differentiates read-only and read-write access through the network management station.
Explore the differences between SNMP versions v1, v2, and v3, highlighting v1's insecure community name and v3's encrypted, user-based security.
Manage network devices with SNMP get and SNMP put, using read-only and read-write community strings, while securing the management station, and differentiate between SNMP traps and polling.
Download and install the VMware ESXi hypervisor in a monitoring lab using VMware Workstation, configure net zero bridged networking, assign a static IPv4 address, and verify connectivity.
learn to create a windows template in vmware workstation, prepare it with sysprep, and deploy new virtual machines via snapshots and template mode for fast, consistent lab setups.
This lecture breaks down PRTG version numbers and build notation, explains 64-bit versus 32-bit installations and six gigabytes of RAM requirements, and introduces Pasillas' release channels: Canary, Preview, and stable.
learn to add Cisco routers and switches to prtg, configure snmp read-only, restrict access, and enable auto discovery to create sensors for system health, cpu, memory, vlan, and traffic.
