SNMP Credential Test

Use the SNMP Credential Test tool (Tools icon > Device > SNMP Credential Test) to determine a successful SNMP community string for a device. For the selected device, the tool tries all the community strings listed in the Settings icon > Setup > Credentials page using the same order as NetMRI's internal guessers. Testing stops when a successful string is found or all strings have been tried.

Note

The SNMP Credentials Test can be run on any device, including those not known to NetMRI.

To run an SNMP credentials test, do the following:

  1. In the Hostname or IP field, enter a host name or IP address, or open the list and select a device.
  2. Open the Network View list and choose the network view containing the specified device.
  3. Click OK.
  4. Then, do the following:
    • To stop the test: click Cancel.
    • To save the results or view them in a text editor: click the Text link.
    • To repeat the test on the save device: click Refresh.
    • To run the test on a different device: click Settings.
