Schedule job field definitions
● Run now to start the job immediately.
● Run Later to specify a later date and time.
● Run On Schedule to run repeatedly based on a selected frequency. Select Daily, and then select the frequency
appropriately.
NOTE: By default, the job scheduler clock is reset at 12:00 A.M. everyday. The cron format does not consider the job
creation time while calculating the job frequency. For example, if a job is started at 10:00 A.M. to run after every 10 hours,
the next time the job runs is at 08:00 P.M. However, the subsequent time is not 06:00 A.M. next day but 12:00 A.M. This is
because the scheduler clock is reset at 12:00 A.M. everyday.

SNMP devices
About this task
By default, the Discover using SNMP check box is selected to enable you detect the storage, networking, or other SNMP
devices.
NOTE:
Only the IO Modules with Standalone, PMUX (Programmable MUX), VLT (Virtual Link Trunking) Modes are
discoverable. Full switch and Stacked Modes will not be discovered.
Steps
1. Under Credentials, select the SNMP version, and then enter the community type.
2. In the Connection Settings section:
a. In the Retries box, enter the number of repeated attempts that must be made to discover a server.
b. In the Timeout box, enter the time after which a job must stop running.
c. In the Port box, enter the port number that the job must use to discover.
NOTE:
The settings in the Retries box and the Timeout box do not have any functional impact on the discovery jobs
for SNMP devices. Hence, these settings can be ignored.
3. Click Finish.
4. Complete the tasks in Creating a device discovery job. For more information, see OpenManage Enterprise User's Guide.
