Adding, Editing, and Removing SNMP Targets

To add an SNMP target to the list of devices monitored by Device Crawlers (or to edit a previously

created SNMP target entry):

1. Start the Device Crawlers task. The SNMP Target view is displayed. If you have installed the

Advanced Device Crawlers license key-based upgrade, additional views (Device Definition Files,

Supplemental OIDs) will be available as well. For more information “Add-Ons: Advanced Device

Crawlers” on page 177.

2. To add a new SNMP target, click Add. To edit a previously created target, select the target from the

SNMP Targets selection list and then click Edit.

3. The Edit Device Crawlers window opens. This window contains the following fields:

Item Description

Host/IP Address Type in this field the hostname or IP address of the SNMP target.

Port Type in this field the port number used for SNMP

communications on the target. The default value is 161.

Read Community Type in this field the read only community string used for SNMP

communications on the target. The default value is public.

Timeout Select the number of seconds that Device Crawlers will wait for a

response from a target before Device Crawlers either retries

communications or considers the target to be unresponsive. The

default value is 30 seconds.

Retries Select the number of times Device Crawlers will retry

communications with an SNMP target that is not responding

before considering the target to be unresponsive and moving on to

the next target.

Scan MIB2 Interfaces If checked, all MIB2 communications interfaces on the device

will be scanned. Some devices (routers, for example) can include

many communications interfaces, and scanning all MIB2

interfaces on these devices can cause significant delays on Device

Crawlers performance. To avoid these impacts, disable MIB2

scanning on these devices.

Scan Advanced DDFs To enable Advanced Device Crawler functionality on this SNMP

target, check the Scan Advanced DDFs check box.

Note: If you have not purchased and applied an Advanced Device

Crawler license key, the Advanced Device Crawler functionality

can be enabled only on a single SNMP target.If the Advanced

Device Crawler functionality is already enabled on an SNMP

target, you must first uncheck the Scan Advanced DDFs check

box in the enabled target’s settings before you can enable it on

another target.
