Monitoring with a CA Standard Monitor › Add a CA Standard Monitor › Prerequisites

Prerequisites

Before you add a CA Standard Monitor, make sure:

• The monitoring device ratio is sized properly.
• The management console can communicate with the CA Standard Monitor on TCP-80, TCP-1000, and TCP-1001.
• Outbound UDP-161 is available, for example, to SNMP poll a server or network device.
• Outbound UDP-162 is available, for example, to send a SNMP trap.
• Outbound and inbound ICMP is available, for example, to verify that a server can respond to a ping request, and to measure the round-trip time.
• You can remotely access the CA Standard Monitor on TCP-3389 using Windows Terminal Services (RDP).
