Configure Device Settings
SNMP Credentials
As each device is discovered, the credentials configured will be tried on it until one set is found to work. This set will be saved as the working credentials for that device.
Read SNMP | You can configure up to 10 SNMP Read communities within PerleVIEW. |
Communities | These configured SNMP communities need to match the configured SNMP |
| Read communities configured on one or more of your devices. SNMP Read |
| Only communities allow you to only read from the devices to get status |
| information. Each configured community will be tried against each device |
| until a valid match is found. This set will be saved as the working credentials |
| for that device. |
Read/Write | You can configure up to 10 SNMP Read/Write communities within |
SNMP | PerleVIEW. These configured SNMP Read/Wrote communities need to |
Communities | match the configured SNMP Read/Write communities configured on one or |
| more of your devices. Read/Write communities also allow you to control the |
| target device (example: reboot the device). Each configured community will |
| be tried against each device until a valid match is found. This set will be |
| saved as the working credentials for that device. |
To access all of PerleVIEW’s features at least one Read or Read/Write community must be configured within PerleVIEW to match a SNMP community configured on the target device.
Login Credentials
As each device is discovered, the credentials listed will be tried on it until one set is found to work. This set will be saved as the working credentials for that device.
Administrator Use Administrator login depending on the privilege level that the users has
Credentials on the target device. These credentials are used to log into the device. (for example: Direct management of the device using Telnet) or to run some PerleVIEW functions (for example: Device Scripting).
