View a List of SNMP Profiles

You can view a list of SNMP profiles that have already been defined. The list includes high-level information about the contents of each profile.

If no tenant definitions have been created, the definitions in the SNMP Profile List are shared among all registered data sources. The global administrator sees a list of SNMP profiles that are not explicitly associated with a tenant.

Note: Tenant administrators only see the items that are associated with their tenant.

Follow these steps:

1. Log in as a user with the Administrator role.
2. Select Admin, System Settings, and click SNMP Profiles.

   The Manage SNMP Profiles page opens.

   The page displays the current list of SNMP profiles.

   The following information is listed for each profile:

   Order

   Determines the order in which the secure information contained in an SNMP profile is used to try to query a selected device. If the query fails, the next profile is used, in priority order.

   Profile Name

   Defines a name for the SNMP profile. Profile names must be unique, cannot be duplicated across SNMP versions, and are not case-sensitive.

   Port

   Identifies the port that is used to make SNMP connections to devices associated with this profile.

   Default: UDP 161.

   User Name

   (SNMPv3 Only) Identifies the user for the profile, whose secret keys were used potentially to authenticate and encrypt the SNMPv3 packets. The User Name is a character string.

   SNMP Version

   Specifies the version of SNMP that the profile uses. Because SNMPv1 and SNMPv2C are similar from a security standpoint, they share a single option. SNMPv3 is a separate option.

   Context Name

   Specifies a collection of management information that is accessible by an SNMP entity. The Context Name is necessary for providing end-to-end identification and for retrieving data from an SNMPv3 agent. The Context Name is an octet string.

   Authentication Password

   Specifies the password for authentication using SNMPv3 and the selected authentication protocol.

   Note: Specify an authentication password that is eight characters or more in length. If you specify a shorter authentication password, the password and SNMP profile are invalid. In this case, SNMP data is missing for the affected interfaces: Interface and device names, interface speeds, and utilization data is missing from views.

   Verify Authentication Password

   Confirms the authentication password.

   Privacy Protocol

   Identifies the encryption protocol used to contact associated devices, if any. Always 'None' if no authorization protocol is in use.

   Use by Default

   Indicates whether the information in this profile is used when not explicitly assigned to a device. If disabled (No), this profile is excluded from discovery in data sources that support the exclusion of profiles.
