Installation Guide

NMS300 Network Management System Application
Install the NMS300 Application Quick Start Guide15
The application uses a combination of SNMP, HTTP, and Telnet protocols to interact with
the devices on your network. You must configure the application with the device
credentials to authenticate with the devices over the following protocols:
• Telnet and HTTP protocols. If the devices are not configured with the default
password for the admin user, create two new credentials in the application.
Create one credential for the Telnet protocol and another credential for the HTTP
protocol that contain either the admin user credential or the credential of another user
of the device with administrative privileges.
• SNMP community strings. If the devices are not configured with the default SNMP
community strings, create a credential in the application for the SNMP protocol that
contains the matching community strings.
For more information, see Add a device credential on page 36.
3. Make sure that each device on your network is configured to send SNMPv1 or SNMPv2
traps to the IP address of the NMS300 server.
The application listens for SNMPv1 and SNMPv2 traps.
