Adding and Editing Device Credentials

Note

SNMP and/or CLI Credentials can be specified within the Device Viewer for individual devices. Should such a credential not work for a given device, or if command-line access is lost for a given device, NetMRI will always re-guess credentials from the global credential list, including vendor defaults if available. See the sections Adding and Testing SNMP Credentials for a Device and Adding and Testing CLI Credentials for a Device for more information.

The Device Viewer offers dedicated CLI Credentials and SNMP Credentials pages (Settings icon > Setup > CLI Credentials and Settings icon > Setup > SNMP Credentials) to globally manage and test CLI and SNMP credentials. See About SNMP Credentials, About CLI Credentials, and Credential Import Formats for further details about credential definition.

The Select checkbox is to the far left of the page for all device credential tables. When you select multiple rows of a table, a whole page, or multiple pages of either data type, you can click Delete to remove multiple entries from the table. You cannot edit multiple rows of data. The Delete option is the only available option after selecting multiple rows.

Doing so enables you to delete all selected records from the table. Exercise caution when performing this action, as you may unintentionally delete rows of data that you did not wish to select.
