Searching the Help
To search for information in the Help, type a word or phrase in the Search box. When you enter a group of words, OR is inferred. You can use Boolean operators to refine your search.
Results returned are case insensitive. However, results ranking takes case into account and assigns higher scores to case matches. Therefore, a search for "cats" followed by a search for "Cats" would return the same number of Help topics, but the order in which the topics are listed would be different.
Search for | Example | Results |
---|---|---|
A single word | cat
|
Topics that contain the word "cat". You will also find its grammatical variations, such as "cats". |
A phrase. You can specify that the search results contain a specific phrase. |
"cat food" (quotation marks) |
Topics that contain the literal phrase "cat food" and all its grammatical variations. Without the quotation marks, the query is equivalent to specifying an OR operator, which finds topics with one of the individual words instead of the phrase. |
Search for | Operator | Example |
---|---|---|
Two or more words in the same topic |
|
|
Either word in a topic |
|
|
Topics that do not contain a specific word or phrase |
|
|
Topics that contain one string and do not contain another | ^ (caret) |
cat ^ mouse
|
A combination of search types | ( ) parentheses |

Enabling ICMP Polling of the Management Address in a NAT Environment
By default, NNMi automatically enables ICMP management address polling for all nodes, including those nodes residing in a NAT environment. If you have a NAT environment, it is highly recommended that you do not disable this setting.
To enable ICMP management address polling (if it is disabled), do the following:
- From the workspace navigation panel, select the Configuration workspace, expand the Monitoring folder, select Monitoring Configuration, and locate the Default Settings tab.
- Enable
ICMP Management Address Polling
. See Set Default Monitoring in the NNMi help.
View the information NNMi displays after performing Actions->Monitoring Settings for SNMP Agents. The displayed information indicates whether NNMi has the management address polling enabled.
When ICMP Management Address Polling is enabled, NNMi changes as follows:
-
The Agent ICMP State field appears in the following forms:
- Node form
- SNMP Agent form
- SNMP Agent table views
- NNMi changes the display location of the management address ICMP state. NNMi also changes the way it determines the SNMP agent status.
The following table shows the Agent ICMP and IP Address state polling actions that NNMi takes for the ICMP Management Address Polling and ICMP Fault Polling settings.

The following table shows changes to the SNMP Agent Status determined by APA for the SNMP agent and ICMP responses.

With ICMP polling of the management address enabled, APA now considers the management address ICMP response and the SNMP agent response when generating conclusions and generating incidents.
