Default Package Wrappers

Default package wrappers are provided for the software packages that are deployed using Remote Deployment. These package wrappers contain installer parameters with a set of default values for the chosen software package. If a package requires mandatory parameters, specify these parameters and save the settings before you deploy the package.

You do not have to edit the parameters again, unless there is a need to modify the installer parameter values for a package. If you proceed to deploy a package without specifying mandatory parameters, the deployment process stops. The package wrapper is not in a deployable state.

The available package wrappers provide the following parameters. Mandatory parameters are indicated in the user interface:

SystemEDGE

Global SNMP Settings that are specified under Administration, Configuration, SNMP populate the drop-down lists for the following fields in the SystemEDGE package wrapper:

Alternatively, you can edit the fields inline.

The available community strings depend on the port setting. When you select the port number first, then you get automatically the valid community strings in the drop-down lists for that port.
