Hi Sean, thanks for the answer.
Well, I am using SMS 2003 to manage only servers of my network. Then,
I configured the network discovery only with the options that I need
(subnets, snmp, snmp devices).
The domain is not configured because it will discovery a lot of
workstations of my network, and I do not need this information. I work
only with servers.
The dhcp is not configured because the servers are not on the DHCP,
only the workstations are on the DHCP, I don't want workstations in my
sms.
Then, I have to use only SNMP devices and the arp cache for network
discovery works.
I think that the problem is in my router (CISCO 6500 Series),
something like arp cache is not returned for SMS. The router has the
default configuration of arp cache.
Using a utility called "snmputil", if I can see the arp cache of the
router if I use for example the command: snmputil walk <ip of router>
<community> 1.3.6.1.2.1.4.22.1.2.
If I use the command to retrieve only the information of one interface
of the router, the information is not retrieved, I have only the
answer "End of MIB subtree.". I do not know why using the first
command all the hosts on the arp cache are returned and the other
command that shows only the cache of a specific interface is not
returned.
Do you know If I have to configure something on the router? I think
that when SMS is looking for the cache, it uses the interface that we
configure on "snmp devices", and we do not have any results.
Why the router is not retrieving the cache for the gateway that I
configure on "snmp devices" with the correct community on "SNMP" of
the network discovery.
What do you think? What we have to configure on the router??

Thanks
