SNMP Dashboard Polling

[Sender]

Hello All,

I am fairly new to Meraki. I'm tasked with getting a 3rd party NMS hosted in the cloud to SNMP poll devices in my organization. I have read several articles about enabling SNMP v2-3 at the Organization settings level and you can enter in the IP restrictions field the public IP of the hosted device I assume.

I also read where you can do this action in Network-wide>General level for each site and then go under the Firewall, WAN appliance services section, you need to whitelist the public IP. I am confused. Does this need to be done in both places? I am thinking just at the Organization level. Thanks

This should explain that pretty well: https://documentation.meraki.com/General_Administration/Monitoring_and_Reporting/SNMP_Overview_and_Configuration

The firewall settings are only for polling things externally. If your NMS is inside your network you only need do the organization level settings.
