SNMP Start Page

To use the snmp system, you need to choose a host. You can either:

  1. Enter the name of the hostname directly. If a previous discovery has been done, then you may also choose from the list of discovered hosts.
    [formSession -group demo] [select host -choices [discover -incache 1] -submit {select host} -noempty 1]
    [formSession -group demo] [input host -value [info hostname]]
    or
  2. Have the system automatically discover the manageable hosts on a network by entering a network number here:
    [formSession -group demo]
    .

Discovery can take a long time (so be patient). If you like knobs and dials, you can futz with them here:

[formSession -group demo]
Ms delay between snmp packets [input delay -value 25 -size 3]
Maximum umber of outstanding snmp requests [input window -value 255 -size 3]
How many times to retry each host [input retries -value 3 -size 2]
How many seconds to try for a response [input timeout -value 2 -size 2]
