Configuring SNMP Connectivity

This template lets you configure an SNMP connectivity template whose parameter values can then be applied system-wide (globally). The template facilitates more effective network management. SNMP/HTTP templates are the default profile values for each defined tenant. There is a single default profile that is used for SNMP and HTTP and is applied to devices added to the Auto-detection region.

To configure an SNMP Connectivity template:
1. Access the Global scope (see Global and Tenant Scope).
2. Open the SNMP Connectivity screen (System > Configuration > Templates > SNMP Connectivity).

3. Use the following table as a reference to the parameters in the figure above.
