Hi,

Depends . . . do you mean you would want to send traps from these devices or have them polled? While I agree with uetian1707 that an SNMP packet is relatively small, that's not really the issue if you are polling for SNMP statistical data.<br />
<br />
If you enable them to send traps, no problem. If you are wanting to poll them, beware.<br />
<br />
Good luck,<br />

Quick question, we now have a managment software in place which picks up snmp traffic, if we have 300 clients on our network, would it be safe to enable SNMP on all the computers, or would this slow down our network? Also can you push this out using GPO?<br />
<br />
thanks in advance

snmp traffic?

Network analysis is the process of identifying and remediating the processes and systems within a network, including performance, connectivity and security. The process is performed through the use of tools developed for monitoring and analyzing network activity. Network problems that involve finding an optimal way of doing something are studied under the name combinatorial optimization. Examples include network flow, shortest path problem, transport problem, transshipment problem, location problem, matching problem, assignment problem, packing problem, routing problem, Critical Path Analysis and PERT (Program Evaluation & Review Technique).

Network Analysis

Network Operations includes asset management, help-desk supervision, security and user policies, infrastructure administration and anything else that affects the operation of your network. Discussions will include those of best practices in platforms, configurations, performance, security and accounting.
