Authorization/Device Access
Manage SNMP Passwords Tab


This tab lets you collectively manage the credentials that have been set on your network's devices. When a particular credential is selected from the drop-down list above the table, the table lists the devices where that credential/password is set. When an SNMPv1 or SNMPv2 credential is selected, you can define a New Community Name for access to the devices in the table. When an SNMPv3 credential is selected, you can define both the Authentication password and the Privacy password for access to the devices in the table. You can assess the impact of applying new passwords on your devices before actually applying them by clicking Test and checking the information in the Test Results column.

Click areas in the window for more information.
