Confirming the SNMP Version for a Node

You can verify the SNMP version that NerveCenter has configured for any particular node. This is useful when manually defining a node to be added to the node list.

With this option, NerveCenter attempts to poll the node using the version specified for the node. The maximum classified version configured in NerveCenter Administrator has no effect on this method of classification. For example, say the maximum classification value set in NerveCenter Administrator is v2c and you have set the version for a particular node to SNMP v3. You can still confirm SNMP v3 communication with the node using the method described below.

 
  To confirm a node's SNMP:

1. From the client's Admin menu, select Node List.

   The Node List window is displayed.

2. In the Node List window, select New if defining a new node, or select the node and then Open to change an existing node.

   The Node Definition window appears.

3. Select the SNMP tab.

4. Select the Test Version button.

NerveCenter attempts to communicate with the node using the SNMP version specified in the SNMP Version field.
