3.2.3 SNMP Tabs
Refer to the following figure.
FIGURE 3-13 SNMP - EE Version
SNMP discovery can be enabled or disabled. If disabled, the rest of this tab is grayed-out. If enabled, the NMS will use this
configuration during network discovery to test IP addresses for the presence of SNMP-enabled devices. Devices that
respond will be added to the NMS database and will be monitored for status polling by periodically polling selected system
variables (such as sysDescr).
The NMS performs “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”)
