Fluke Recording Equipment manual Set up Snmp community strings, Add listener ports

User’s Guide – version 3.1.3 NetFlow Tracker

Set up SNMP community strings

If any of the devices you intend monitoring do not use a read-only SNMP community of “public” you will need to add their communities to the list in SNMP Settings.

Add listener ports

If you intend monitoring more than one device it is recommended that you set up one listener port per device rather than use the default port 2055 for all of them. You can add ports in the Listener Ports settings page.

Set up web front-end security

If you wish to set passwords to protect access to the web front-end and the settings pages you can do so in Security Settings.

Configure your routers and switches

You must configure your devices to send NetFlow exports to the server running NetFlow Tracker, and to allow the server read-only SNMP access. Even if you have set up NetFlow before, please read the configuration guide in Appendix 1.

Verify that data is being received

You can check that data is being received from a device by looking for it in the Performance Counters settings page. You should also check the Device Settings to ensure that SNMP access was successful.
