SNMP Device Onboarding

Simple Network Management Protocol (SNMP) is a protocol used for monitoring and managing network-attached devices. It enables administrators to collect information, monitor network performance, and receive alerts about conditions that may require attention.

To add the device following are the steps:

  • Add Node
  • Polling Configuration
  • Device Registration
Figure 1. Figure - Node Add

To onboard SNMP details, go to Add Node, enter a unique IP, and click "Add".

Below mentioned the detailed procedure for SNMP Device Onboarding

Select the method type:
Method Type Input Parameter
Ip Address Valid IP Address
  1. Upon clicking "Add," the node status (pingable/not pingable) appears. If pingable, select the IP and click "Next."

    Else, troubleshoot the network to make the IP address pingable.

    Status Description
    Pinagable Node is reachable
    Not Pingable Network failure
    1. Next, enter the IP credentials. Test the node's credential status (successful/failed).
  2. Polling Configuration
    1. Configure polling to verify network connectivity prior to further configuration.
    2. Enter valid credentials and click "Test."
      Figure 3. Figure - Node Add (cont.)
      Test Result Description
      Successful Node credentials are valid
      Failure Node credentials are not valid

      * Credentials ensures that the system can securely communicate with the node for monitoring

    3. Test credentials to ensure secure system-node communication for monitoring. Upon successful status, select the node and click "Submit." The system will then display SNMP installation status and begin data collection.

  3. Device Registration

    The system will then show whether SNMP is installed or not and begin collecting data.

This step initiates the monitoring process, allowing the system to gather performance and status information from the node.
