Issue/Introduction


We need to discover devices using SNMP v2c. Can Spectrum be configured to use v2c for discovery?

Resolution

For Trap Based Discovery the SpectroSERVER will use the 'Modeling and Protocol Options' for the trap-based discovery (Community, Ports, IP Exclusion).


To discover using SNMP v2c add the community string with the v2 format.
 
 example:  #v2/public (as you see on discovered models).

The same is true for v3 as well.

example:   #v3/P:SHA^authpassword:AES^privpassword/UserName

Be sure to set the order that the community strings should be tried as well.
