Variable Description Notes
target The IP address of a device
or range of devices that
use these community
strings.
If you do not specify a target,
the default community strings
apply to all devices in the
network.
read_community A password allowing
read-only access to the
target devices.
You must specify the read
community string. Otherwise,
the default value of public is
used.
timeout The length of time
(seconds) the server waits
for a response from the
device before performing
the first retry.
The default is 10 seconds. If
you increase the timeout
period, discovery could take
significantly longer to
complete. The minimum value
is one and the maximum value
is 60.
retries Number of attempts the
server makes to
communicate with the
device before declaring
that the device has timed
out.
The default is one retry. If you
increase the number of retries,
discovery takes significantly
longer to complete. The
default retry policy doubles
the previous timeout value for
retry.
write_community The password that allows
write access to the target
devices.
You must specify the write
community string. Otherwise,
the default value of public is
used.
