Add a SNMP Profile

Add a SNMP profile to enable the management console to query a server or network device, and to send a SNMP trap using a specified set of SNMP user credentials.

When the management console is registered as a data source with the CA PC or CA NPC, manage SNMP profiles in the CA PC or CA NPC. The CA PC and the CA NPC improves SNMP profile discovery by allowing you to specify the order where you want the management console, and any other registered data sources, to discover a valid profile.

We recommend that you limit the number of SNMP profiles that are included in the management console discovery process. For information about configuring SNMP profiles from the CA PC or CA NPC, see the online help.

Follow these steps:

  1. Click the Administration page
  2. Click Investigations, SNMP Profiles in the Show Me menu.

    SNMP Profiles opens.

  3. Click Add SNMP Profile.

    SNMP Profile Properties opens.

  4. Specify the SNMP profiles and click OK.

    For information about setting SNMP profile properties, click Help.
