SNMP Type

Monitor > SNMP Type

The SNMP Type page assigns types to SNMP devices. SNMP devices assigned to one of these types are monitored by SNMP sets of the same type. You can also give individual SNMP devices custom names and descriptions as well as remove the device from your database.

You can assign SNMP sets to devices by type automatically as follows:

  1. Add or edit SNMP types using the SNMP Device tab in Monitor > Monitor Lists.
  2. Add or edit the sysServicesNumber associated with SNMP types using the SNMP Services tab in Monitor > Monitor Lists. Broad categories of SNMP devices share the same sysServiceNumber.
  3. Associate a SNMP type with a SNMP set using the Automatic Deployment to drop-down list in Monitor > SNMP Sets > Define SNMP Set.
  4. Perform a LAN Watch. During a LAN Watch SNMP devices are automatically assigned to be monitored by SNMP sets if the SNMP device returns a sysServicesNumber associated with a SNMP type used by those SNMP sets.
  5. Manually assign a SNMP type to an SNMP device using Monitor > SNMP Type. Doing so causes SNMP sets using that same type to start monitoring the SNMP device.

Assign

Applies the selected SNMP type to selected SNMP devices.

Delete

Removes selected SNMP devices from your database. If the device still exists the next time a LAN Watch is performed, the device will be re-added to the database. This is useful if a device's IP or MAC address changes.
