View the SNMP Profiles List

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.

    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.

    Authentication Protocol

    (SNMPv3 Only) Specifies the authentication protocol to use when contacting devices associated with this profile. The following algorithms for authenticating SNMPv3 packets are supported:

    • None (do not attempt authentication)
    • MD5 (Message Digest 5)
    • SHA (Secure Hash Algorithm)
    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.

    To perform any action on this page, select a profile, and then click a button.
