Hello,
I want to monitor a Windows 7 System (running as a VMware machine) using SNMP.
WMI reports the following interface:
vmxnet3 Ethernet Adapter 192.168.0.1, fe80::b47b:6c8f:82:633b 00:50:56:E3:51:5E isatap.{D4E305F0-E7C9-4880-B557-3C897B18E0CB} 6TO4 Adapter
OK, no problem to determine the right NIC.

SNMP reports those interface:

Which interface is the right one? How can I determine?
Thank you.
Hello,
thank you very much for your KB-Post. I'm afraid, not knowing this machine, we can't really say which interface is the right one. It's probably not one of the Tunnel/Loopback/PPP-interfaces. But further than that, the best way to check this might be simply adding the SNMP and WMI Sensors, and then compare the volumes for at least a few hours (please do not compare single scan speed values, they can differ too much, because of different scan times).
best regards.
