692 Group Operations
Group and Type
The first screen in this Wizard lets you select a group and type of operation.
Figure 22-1. Select a Group and Operation Type
The exact contents of this panel depend on the applications and device drivers you have installed.
It has the following information:
-
Name —The unique identifier for the group operation you are creating.
-
Description —A text description of the group operation.
-
Group —The (previously created) equipment group on which this operation acts. Use the
command button (...) to change the selection.
-
Operation —Consists of nodes for drivers and applications, in addition to the standard System
Operations
node. Under these nodes, Global operations essentially do the same thing to the
entire group.
Batch operations do group-, device- or instance-specific actions.
To set the SNMP community string to
public , on all devices use a Global operation. This
performs the same action, using the same values. To change the SNMP community string on
all devices to box## then do a batch operation and change the value one-by-one. This is the
same action, but with different values.
System Information actions work for any device that supports SNMP MIB 2 (and those that
do not if you are only updating the database). Other devices require that a Device Driver be
installed and support the given type.
