DNS hostname contains. Select to set criteria that passes if the value of the polled
SNMP object (OID) contains the specified hostname value. For example, you can
check that a device name contains "ATL," the prefix used in the Atlanta office
computer names.
SNMP object contains. Select to set criteria that passes if the value of the polled
SNMP object (OID) contains the specified value. For example, you can check for
devices that contain the OID value 1.3.6.1.2.1.1.1.0 (Microsoft branch) with "Version
5.1" system description information to determine the devices that are running
Windows XP.
SNMP object has a child which contains. Select to set criteria that passes if the value
of the polled SNMP object (OID) includes a child object. For example, you can check
for devices that contain the OID value 1.3.6.1.2.1.17 (dot1dBridge, the root of the
bridge MIB). If this OID has a child, it means the device supports the Bridge MIB, and
therefore the device must be a switch.
SNMP object has a number of children greater than. Select to set criteria that
passes if the value of the polled SNMP object (OID) includes child objects greater than
x number of children. For example, you can check the number of instances of a device
interface by discovering instances of the interface table. This criterion could be used
to identify "critical" network switches by identifying switches with 200 or more
interface tables.
SNMP object has a value. Select to set criteria that passes if the value of the polled
SNMP object (OID) contains the specified value. For example, you can check for
devices that contain the OID value 1.3.6.1.2.1.1.6 (sysLocation) with "Server Room"
system description information to determine the devices that are network servers.
SNMP object has at least one child. Select to set criteria that passes if the value of
the polled SNMP object (OID) includes at least one child object. For example, you can
check that a printer OID includes at least one child printer OID. This criterion
determines that the device is definitely a printer device. Printer OIDs must include a
printer child OID.
SNMP object is. Select to set criteria that passes if the value of the polled SNMP
object (OID) is equal to the specified value. For example, you could poll the sysContact
object to make sure the configured contact information is equal to "Jane Doe."
SNMP object matches regular expression. Select to set criteria that passes if the
value of the polled SNMP object (OID) matches the specified regular expression value.
For example, you could check for devices that contain the OID value 1.3.6.1.2.1.1.1.0,
the Catalyst switch sysDescr. If this system description matches the regular expression
value (.*Catalyst), the criteria is matched.
SNMP object starts with. Select to set criteria that passes if the value of the polled
SNMP object (OID) starts with the specified value. For example, you can check for
devices that contain the OID value 1.3.6.1.2.1.1.2.0, an HP enterprise OID. If this OID
starts with 1.3.6.1.4.1.11, the root of the HP Enterprise MIB space, it means the
specified device is supported.
SNMP SysObjectID is. Select to set criteria that passes if the value of the polled
SysObjectID object the specified value. For example, the criterion could poll the
66
