Overview

Microsoft System Center Operations Manager 2012 and Microsoft System Center 2012 SP1, Operations Manager provide the ability to discover and monitor network routers and switches, including the network interfaces and ports on those devices and the virtual LAN (VLAN) that they participate in. Operations Manager can tell you whether network devices are online or offline, and can monitor the ports and interfaces for those devices.


Operations Manager 2012 can monitor network devices that support SNMP, and can provide port monitoring for devices that implement interface MIB (RFC 2863) and MIB-II (RFC 1213) standards.


Operations Manager may provide more detailed processor or memory monitoring for some network devices. This Microsoft Excel spreadsheet lists the devices, vendors, model names, and versions of network devices that have extended monitoring capability. The Devices worksheet includes processor and memory columns for each device to indicate whether Operations Manager can provide extended monitoring for either or both aspects for each device.
