Discovery - SNMP Communities
-
Besides the default community field there is a list that allows setting up additional SNMP communities. I was hoping that during discovery if the primary did not work it would try the others listed in order until it found one that was working or had mad it through the list. So far it has only discovered devices that respond on our default community. Can you explain how this works?
We would really like to have discovery be able to check many different communities. Our network has a number of different ones for one reason or another.
Thanks!

Hi!
It works exactly as you suppose - system tries all listed community strings. However, SNMP configuration for already added devices is checked only during configuration polls (once per hour by default), and new discovery cycle can take even more time, so newly added community strings may not be used immediately.
Best regards,
Victor
