Entering Device Credentials

Device Manager allows you to enter device credentials for SLBs, which will 

enable you to provision the device, delete or discover device services, change 

SNMP community strings, and set up device redundancy.

Note

In order for your devices to work in the Hosting Solution Engine, you must have 

them already set up in your network. For details on setting up your network 

devices, see

Before you can provision any of your server load balancing devices, you must 

provide the device credentials. The device credential dialog box that displays 

when you select a device, is determined by the device type you entered at the time 

of discovery. For information about setting the correct device type, see 

Adding 

Devices, page 4 5

.
