Hi There,

I need to monitor devices on 4 different network segments, I’ve created the necessary firewall rules to allow the traffic through from the Spiceworks Network Monitoring server in LAN1, and can see the connections going outbound to the other 3 LANs however it always returns an error saying it cannot connect to the remote server (show’s the servers IP)

Spiceworks can monitor multiple LANs from the a single install right?

As long as there are routes to the subnets and the firewall allows the traffic, absolutely.

What ports did you open on the firewall and do the remote servers have a local firewall running?

Hello!

  1. If you have a single networking card on the server please be sure that you allocate 4 IP addresses to that NIC. One for each LAN.

  2. If I understand correctly you segregate your network at level 3, meaning different IPs, and then you use firewall rules to control traffic between the subnets. If that is the case, please make sure that your rules do not block your server from reaching some of the subnets

3)Check possible firewall rules on other machines/OS/Workstations so as not to block your server’s addresses and/or the ports that spiceworks needs to monitor (WMI port, SNMP, telnet, SSH, HTTP/S etc)

Can’t think of anything else at the moment. I hope the above will help you a little mate!

Have fun!

Hi Chaps,

I’ve done some more work on this, and now have both subnets in Site A and Site B working (I needed to allow the Windows Ephemeral ports on the firewall) in addition to the base ports listed in the docs, and adjust access outbound from the spiceworks NM server in Site A out to the Site B DMZ (done on the Site B Firewall) .

Thanks for all of the help on this, most appreciated - this ticket can be closed now.
