Manage Network Devices

We recommend adding a network device to the management console if you are planning to let the management console perform an SNMP query on that device, for example, to SNMP poll a router for its performance information.

If you do not assign an SNMP profile to a network device, the management console attempts to discover a valid SNMP profile.

The management console performs an SNMP query when:

• SNMP polling a router for network information.
• Launching a Performance via SNMP investigation.
• Launching a Trace Route Investigation.
