  • Script Execution: If enabled, Configuration Command Scripts or Perl scripts can be executed by NetMRI users with the correct privileges.
  • Vendor Default Credential Collection: If enabled, NetMRI will automatically check for default vendor credentials at the interval specified in Frequency (Daily or Weekly). Checking for vendor default credentials ensures that the network meets compliance standards.

...

Note: The topics under Configuration Management provide more information about configuration collection and related operations.

  1. Go to Settings icon –> General Settings –> Advanced Settings –> Data Collection category. The SNMPv1 Data Collection Fallback setting prevents NetMRI from attempting to collect from a device that has a spurious or incorrect SNMPv2c credential, and will 'fall back' to SNMPv1 for collection.
  2. Click the Actions icon and choose Edit.
    1. If you want SNMPv1 to be allowed for data collection, choose enabled for data collection;
    2. If you want SNMPv2c to be the specific data collection protocol, choose disabled for data collection.
  3. Click OK to commit settings.
  4. Go to Settings icon –> General Settings –> Advanced Settings –> Discovery category. The SNMPv1/SNMPv2c Discovery Version setting allows a choice between three options:
    • Use SNMPv1 for credential discovery;
    • Use SNMPv2c for credential discovery;
    • Use both SNMPv1/SNMPv2c for credential discovery.

Should you choose the third option, Use both SNMPv1/SNMPv2c for credential discovery, NetMRI continues to use SNMPv1 for credential discovery on devices that support only SNMPv1, and uses SNMPv2c whenever it is supported by target devices. Using the Use both SNMPv1/SNMPv2c option imposes some time delay for credential collection, in cases where non-working/incorrect credentials are attempted during data collection.
