Introduction
NMIS is a complete management system which collects fault, performance and basic inventory/configuration data from routers, switches, servers, firewalls, facilities (UPS, AC/CRACK, Sensors), and anything which has an SNMP agent. NMIS is highly extensible, using device models to define what is collected from devices, and how events are handled.

Standard Support Options
SNMP is the simple network management protocol, and the protocol itself is very simple, a little more complex is the MIB's Management Information Base, these are defined in ASN.1 and include all sorts of rich functionalities required when dealing with large data structures which are available through SNMP.
Because of the differences in standards and timings, NMIS includes a default model for supporting devices, which is called Model-Default, and for devices which only support SNMP Version 1, there is a model called Model-SNMPv1, and for devices which have improved SNMP support including 64 bit counters there is a model called Model-Default-HC (High Capacity).
The model can be changed when editing a node and changing automatic to the required model, but you should verify your update and collection.
