3.1.2 SNMP Tab
FIGURE 3-3 Discovery Configurator – SNMP Tab
Only devices that respond to SNMP can be discovered and managed by the AlliedView NMS. The NMS will perform “SNMP
Ping” operations with each of the given read communities until a device responds or all communities have been tried and
failed. (SNMP Pings are essentially SNMP get requests for selected system variables. Devices that respond are considered
“connected” and those that don't are considered “unreachable”)
3.1.2.1 SNMPv2
For most devices, only read communities are used during discovery. Some devices, including iMG/RGs, require discovering
write communities as well.
