SNMP Configuration Options
Field Description
Enable SNMP discovery Enables or disables the SNMP protocol for discovery
range (subnet.)
Get community Specifies or edits the community name for SNMP get calls
from the OpenManage Essentials user interface. The Get
Community is a read-only password that SNMP agents
installed on managed devices use for authentication. The
Get Community allows OpenManage Essentials to browse
and retrieve SNMP data. This field is case-sensitive.
OpenManage Essentials uses the first successful
community name to communicate with the device. You
can enter multiple SNMP community strings separated
with commas.
Set community Specifies or edits the community name for SNMP set calls
from the OpenManage Essentials UI. The Set Community
is a read-write password that SNMP agents installed on
managed devices use for authentication. The Set
Community allows OpenManage Essentials to perform
tasks that require the SNMP protocol, such as shutting
down a system. This field is case-sensitive. OpenManage
Essentials uses the first successful community name to
communicate with the device. You can enter multiple
SNMP community strings separated with commas.
NOTE: In addition to the Set Community name, an
instrumentation password is required to perform an
SNMP task on a device.
Timeout (seconds) Specifies or edits the amount of time that OpenManage
Essentials waits after issuing a get or set call before it
considers the call failed. A valid range is from 1 to 15
seconds. The default is 4 seconds.
Retries (attempts) Specifies or edits the number of times that OpenManage
Essentials reissues a get or set call after the first call
times out. A valid range is from 1 to 10 retries. The default
is 2.
WMI Configuration
Use the WMI protocol for gathering discovery, inventory, and health information about Window-based servers. This
protocol provides less information about devices than SNMP but is useful if SNMP is disabled on the network. See WMI
Configuration Options to configure WMI parameters for Windows servers only.
