Authorization/Device Access
Profiles/Credentials Tab
NetSight applications access devices to control certain device functions (SNMP sets) and retrieve information
for device properties views, FlexViews and periodic polling (SNMP gets). This tab lets you manage
credentials that define the access privileges required for SNMPv1, SNMPv2, and SNMPv3, and profiles that
use the credentials for various access levels. Two elements are involved with access management:
Credentials − define the SNMPv1/SNMPv2 community names and SNMPv3 values that will be
used to access your network devices. Credentials are created:
Manually using the Add Credential button•
Imported from a file in NetSight Generated Format (.ngf) using the Import from Device
List.

Profiles − are assigned to device models in the NetSight database. They identify the credentials that
are used for the various access levels when communicating with the device. Profiles are created using
the Add Profile button.
