IP SNMP credentials
NOTE
The Management application supports SNMPv1, SNMPv2c, and SNMPv3.
The Management application requires SNMP credentials to obtain information from devices and to
deploy configurations to devices. Because different devices may have different credentials,
discovery can store many sets of credentials to make sure that the correct credentials are available
when contacting a device.
Two types of credentials can be used for discovery: SNMPv1 and SNMPv2c read-write community
strings and SNMPv3 read-write credentials. If SNMPv1 or SNMPv2c is enabled on a device, use
read-write community strings. If SNMPv3 is enabled on a device, use SNMPv3 read-write
credentials.
