Creation

SNMP Main connection

This connector uses a Simple Network Management Protocol (SNMP) connection and requires the following input during element creation:

SNMP CONNECTION:

• IP address/host: The polling IP of the device.

SNMP Settings:

• Port number: The port of the connected device, by default 161.

• Get community string: The community string used when reading values from the device, by default public.

• Set community string: The community string used when setting values on the device, by default private.

• Security level and protocol: Only applicable for 1.1.0.x.

• User name: Only applicable for 1.1.0.x.

• Authentication password: Only applicable for 1.0.1.x and if "Security level and protocol" is not noAuthNoPriv.

• Encryption password: Only applicable for 1.0.1.x and if "Security level and protocol" is not authPriv.

• Authentication algorithm: Only applicable for 1.0.1.x and if "Security level and protocol" is not noAuthNoPriv.

• Encryption algorithm: Only applicable for 1.0.1.x and if "Security level and protocol" is not authPriv.
