Setting Up Device Management

Enter SNMP Community Strings for All Managed Devices

SNMP community strings are used for discovering and communicating with network devices. The community string must be set on each device, as described in Setting Up Devices, page 4-14. You an enter as many community strings as necessary.

Note If you are importing devices, you do not need to enter their community strings. For more information, see Import Devices, page 4-33.

To enter community strings:

Step 1 Select Devices > Discover > Device Credentials > SNMP Communities.

Initially, the dialog box contains a default entry which covers all devices, provided device community strings are set to the default (public).

Step 2 Add new entries using one of these methods:

Using the text boxes and lists for individual parameters. After you have specified all the parameters, click Add to add the community string to the list.

Entering data directly in the list of community strings by using the following syntax:

target:read_community::timeout:retries:::write_community

You must enter the correct number of colons between variables. Otherwise, the community strings cannot be read.

Step 3 Click Save to apply your changes.
