Reordering SNMP credentials in the list
Discovery probes the network for devices, according to the order in the list of SNMPv3 read-write
credentials or SNMPv1 or SNMPv2c read-write community strings. Discovery uses the first item to
find devices that are associated with those credentials or community strings, then continues down
the list. Therefore, place the most commonly used credentials or community strings first.
To rearrange the SNMPv3 read-write credentials or SNMPv1 or SNMPv2c read-write community
strings lists, complete the following steps.
1. Select Discover > IP Products.
The Discover Setup - IP dialog box displays.
2. Click the Global Settings tab.
3. Click the SNMP tab.
4. Select an entry in the Selected SNMPv3 Read-Write Credentials or Selected Read-Write
Community Strings list and use the Up and Down buttons to rearrange the entries.
