SNMP v2

The Credentials Library stores community string information for SNMP devices in your WhatsUp Gold database to be used whenever a read or write community string is needed to monitor a device. In WhatsUp Gold, credentials are used to limit access to a device's SNMP data. Devices need SNMP credentials assigned to them before SNMP-based Active Monitors can be applied. Configure the following fields to create a SNMP v2 credential:

• Name. Enter a unique name for the credential. This name displays in the Credentials Library.
• Description. (Optional) Enter additional information about the credential. This information displays next to the credential in the Credentials Library.
• SNMP read community. Enter the read community string you want to use for this credential.
• SNMP write community. Enter the write community string you want to use for this credential.
