  • IP address/host: The polling IP of the devices is defined in each row of the dynamic table, this connector can poll from several different LAN Switches*.*

SNMP Settings:

  • Port number: The port of the connected device, by default 161.
  • Get community string: The community string in order to read from the device. The default value is public.
