Re: Open SNMP and Syslog ports

If you can do a walk off of the same server, and SpiceWorks is able to pull data, then OpManager and Solarwinds should work just the same. I would check your firewall address list to make sure those servers didn't fire the auto block rules that you have in place.

Re: Open SNMP and Syslog ports

What version of SMNP are you trying to use in your server? Try setting it to 2c if you are trying to use v1 or v3. If you are trying to use v3, you need to set the appropriate keys and passwords in the MikroTik.

An export of '/ip firewall' would be more effective in seeing your ruleset.

There's not much you can do yourself for external traffic because it's being delivered to you by your provider, a network you have no control over. They are just forwarding the packets on like they are supposed to. You can work with them to block, or cut down on specific traffic.

Re: Tx & Rx rate via SNMP ?

TX and RX are bytes-in and bytes-out. What typically happens is the SNMP server polls the device a number of times for these OID's and since it knows the difference in time between these two polls, it uses the difference between the numbers received to calculate the bandwidth for that time slice.
