SNMP Consistency

Consistent SNMP settings are necessary for discovering systems and networks correctly. If none of the SNMP settings of SystemEDGE on a remote system exists on the CA Virtual Assurance manager, CA Virtual Assurance cannot discover the required resources on that system. CA Virtual Assurance requires at least valid read-only SNMP credentials to discover a system.

If you remotely deploy the SystemEDGE agents and you configure the agents through Policy Configuration, the SNMP consistency condition between manager and managed systems is automatically fulfilled.

If you configure the SNMP settings locally on the remote server, verify the consistency of the SNMP settings. If none of the SNMP settings on the remote server is specified on the manager, specify the missing credentials as a global SNMP object in CA Virtual Assurance and discover the remote system.

The SNMP scenarios and procedures in this chapter assume that the SystemEDGE agents run in managed mode. In managed mode, SystemEDGE is configured through Policy Configuration in CA Virtual Assurance.
