Protocol settings
You can set default system-wide protocols settings. These defaults apply to all newly discovered
systems. For passwords or community strings, the default list is repeated until one string works (if
at all). HP recommends putting the most often used passwords or community strings first in the list.
In the following procedure, all sections are optional but highly recommended for proper management
of systems.
WARNING! If your environment's security policy includes account lockout after a specific number
of failed attempts, use system protocol settings instead of global protocol settings. You cannot
configure system protocol settings until discovery has been run once, making sure none of the
account lockout accounts are configured in the global protocol settings. For information on
configuring system protocol settings, see Setting protocols and credentials for a system or group
of systems.
