For actual discovery? The Auto-Discover wizard under Configure (link on the left).

If you want to actually monitor it I would suggest using SNMP or the Generic Network Device wizard.

Hi,

I have to monitor the 'Nokia IP1287' firewall. Which monitoring wizard can auto-scan its ports ? Need to monitor its ports status as well. There may be lot of ports so cannot add each one of them and link it with OID (if operstatus). The ports should be auto-scanned at the time of discovery.

Hi,
I just got this plugin check_snmp_cpfw.pl from http://nagios.manubulon.com/snmp_cpfw.html

Please can you confirm if it has to be used with NRPE ?

I am going to assume not since the world "NRPE" does not appear anywhere on the help page.

Have you looked into the SNMP Walk wizard? It will run the snmpwalk command against the host and compile a list of proper SNMP configs for the ports.
