Storing SNMP credentials as a string within switch’s discovery profile table (SNMP table) can 
compromise switch security. Therefore, when Start Discovery is selected, the switch prompts the user to 
verify their SNMP credentials against the SNMP credentials of discovered devices. SNMP v2 and v3 
credentials must be verified before the switch displays the discovered devices within the Saved Devices 
table.

If SNMP v2 is used with a discovering profile, a 

 screen displays.The 

Community String entered is required to match the name used by the remote network management 
software of the discovered switch.

Displays the WEB UI supplied numerical identifier used to differentiate this profile from 
others with similar configurations. The index is supplied to new profiles sequentially.

Displays the user-assigned name used to title the profile. The profile name should associate 
the profile with the group of devices or area where the discovered devices are anticipated 
to be located.

Displays the starting numeric (non DNS) IP address from where the search for available 
network devices is conducted.

Displays the ending numeric (non DNS) IP address from where the search for available 
network devices is conducted

Displays the version of the SNMP (either SNMP v2 or v3) used for discovering available 
network devices.
