Chapter 4      Managing Devices
Device Management
Note
If devices have multiple IP addresses (such as routers), you must specify the 
correct community string for all IP addresses. Devices that include an MSFC must 
ensure that the MSFC community strings are different from the chassis. The 
MSFC information is now editable. Due to hardware problems, you can change 
the MSFC data to ensure its accuracy.
Additionally, if a device supports SNMP v2, the Hosting Solution Engine 
communicates with the device in SNMP v2 mode. Specifically, the Hosting 
Solution Engine uses the SNMP Settings command to retrieve large chunks of 
information at a time, resulting in faster communication between the Hosting 
Solution Engine and the network devices.

Modifying SNMP Settings
Make sure that the SNMP settings on the Hosting Solution Engine correspond to 
the settings on your network devices.
Default community strings are public for the read only string and public for the 
read write string. If the community strings on your device differ from these 
settings, you must edit the community strings before initiating the discovery 
process.
In addition to editing the read and write access of your devices, you can also 
modify the SNMP retries and timeout duration.
Use this information to change community strings, SNMP retries, and SNMP 
timeouts on the Hosting Solution Engine. When you make changes to the 
community strings, the changes will take effect only when you run a manual 
discovery (see 
Running Device Discovery, page 4 25
).
To change the SNMP Community Strings on devices individually, see 
Changing 
SNMP Settings, page 4 28
.
To change the SNMP Community Strings in bulk, see 
Modifying Multiple Device 
SNMP Settings, page 4 29
