- On the Network Explorer page, do one of the following:
- Click Inventory > Devices and then click a device IP.
- Click Discovery and then click a device IP. The chosen device's Device Viewer appears.
- To create CLI login credentials, click Settings and Status > CLI Credentials to open the page for creating CLI login credentials.
- Click Edit.
- For CLI Credentials, you may provide up to three different login tuples: for SSH, Telnet, and for the HTTP protocol. Enter the username and password for any or all three as required for the selected device. For SSH and Telnet, you also provide a port number. You can use the default or custom ports.
- Provide the Enable Password.
- Click Test to try out the new credential. You can also click Show Password to verify that you have entered the correct values.
For CLI credentials, NetMRI attempts to log in to the device using both telnet and SSH with the credentials configured for each, including empty credentials. The test passes if the login is successful. The HTTP protocol is not used during the test.
A test example is shown below, indicating that no SSH credential is provided but a successful telnet login tuple was provided:Test Starting+++ SSH: Trying [] [] [] ........................... FAILED+++ Telnet: Trying [qagroup] [qalogin] [] .......... OK+++ Telnet: Credentials Successful [qagroup] [qalogin] []+++ Discovered working credential for the device after testing 1

- Click Save. Saved credentials can be deleted by clicking the Delete icon in the table row.
The lower panel is a history that lists all credentials attempted during the last credential guessing attempt for the given device. This data resets each time credentials are guessed for a device. The table indicates the time of each guess and the result of that attempt. If a device is manually configured with a credential, NetMRI updates the history once it attempts to use that credential for data collection.
