Add New SNMP v2 Credential Type

Use this dialog to create a SNMP v2 credential type for use with the credentials system. The Credentials system stores community string information for SNMP devices in your WhatsUp Gold database to be used whenever a read or write community string is needed to monitor a device. SNMP v2 uses a plain text read and write community string (also known as SNMP V2c.)

• Name. Enter a name for the credential type. This name appears in the Credentials Library list.
• Description. Enter a short description for this credential. The description appears with the name in the Credentials Library list.
• SNMP read community. Enter the read community string that you want to use for this credential. See SNMP Security for more information on community strings.
• SNMP write community. Enter the write community string that you want to use for this credential. See SNMP Security for more information on community strings.
