Create SNMP agent profile

You can enter SNMP authentication information directly, and save the details in a file:

1. On the SNMP Settings tab, enter an Agent Prefix to identify the interface node as the parent of SNMP PI points built from the interface.

2. Enter the Agent IP/Hostname of the device and an SNMP Username for version 3 connections.

3. Enter credentials to connect to and poll an SNMP agent.

   • For SNMP versions 1 and 2, the credential is a Read Community String, usually public.

   • For SNMP version 3, you must provide a username and possibly an Authentication and Privacy Password.

4. Click Save to File to save the information to an agent file in XML format.
