NMS300 Network Management System Application

Note: If a credential failure occurs, a common reason is that the device login information changed from its default. When a credential failure occurs, add or modify the credential and run the discovery job again. For more information, see Add a Device Credential on page 25.

The Quick Discovery screen closes.

Use a Discovery Profile to Discover Devices on Your Network

A discovery profile gives you more control over the discovery process than the quick discovery method but is a bit more complicated. The following sections describe how you can use a discovery profile to discover devices:

1.Add a Device Credential

2.Add a Discovery Profile

3.Execute a Discovery Job

Add a Device Credential

During the discovery process, the application must log in to devices to obtain the information to discover and manage the devices. A device credential includes the user name, password, and SNMP community string that allows the application to log in to the device. The user name and password are the same user information that you use to log in to the device to perform system configuration. The application provides default device credentials for discovery over HTTP, HTTPS, SNMP, and Telnet, and for discovery of the NETGEAR FVS318G firewall over HTTPS.

You must configure the correct device credentials for any device that you want the application to manage. If a device does not have its default credentials, do the following:

•If a device does not have its default admin user password, create two new credentials in the application, one for Telnet and another for the HTTP protocol. These credentials contain either the admin user credential or the credential of another user with administrative privileges.

•If a device does not have its default SNMP community strings, create a credential in the application for the SNMP protocol that contains the matching community strings.

To add a device credential:

1. Log in to the application.
