Adding SNMPv1 and SNMPv2c credentials
If SNMPv1 or SNMPv2c is enabled, or if you want to use community strings to gain access to the
device, define community strings.
To add a SNMPv1 or SNMPv2c read-write community string, 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. Enter a unique label to identify the community string in the Display Label field of the Add/Edit
Read-Write Community Strings list.
This label can be from 1 through 16 characters long, case sensitive, and allows all printable
ASCII characters.
5. Enter the unique community string in the Community Strings field.
The community string can be from 1 through 16 characters long, case sensitive, and allows all
printable ASCII characters. The string displays as asterisks.
6. Click the right arrow button to add the read-write community string to the Selected Read-Write
Community Strings list.
NOTE
Discovery uses the read-write community string to detect both SNMP read and SNMP write
community strings.
If the devices use multiple community strings, use the Up or Down buttons to place the most
commonly used community string at the top of the Selected Read-Write Community Strings list
to make discovery run more efficiently.
NOTE
If the Selected Read-Write Community Strings list does not contain any community strings, the
Management application uses the "public" and "private" community strings.
7. Click Apply to save your work.
8. Click Close to close the Discover Setup - IP dialog box.
9. Click Yes on the confirmation message.
