The Devices page lists the devices that Network Discovery connects to when probing for network resources. When adding or updating a device, you can configure the following attributes:
Field | Description |
---|---|
Configuration | The Configuration that contains the device, as specified in Address Manager. |
Device name |
The current name of the device. |
Probe label |
The docker container that runs the discovery probe for the Network Discovery app to which the policy applies. |
IP addresses | The IPv4 or IPv6 address of the device. |
SNMP port |
The SNMP port number. |
SNMP version | The SNMP (Simple Network Management Protocol) version used by the device. This can be v1, v2c, or v3. |
SNMP VRF context list |
The list of SNMP VRF (virtual routing and forwarding) contexts to use
during discovery network operations. Separate multiple contexts with
commas ( If left blank, discovery operations will use all VRF contexts in the network. Note: Unless specified by BlueCat support, leave this field empty. The
Network Discovery app will automatically discover all available VRF
contexts in the network.
|
Skip neighbor discovery |
If selected, neighbor discovery operations are skipped. Neighbor discovery protocols let nodes on the same link more easily find neighbors (other nodes and routers on the same network). |
SNMP MGMT context list |
A list of SNMP Management VRF contexts to use during neighbor
discovery operations. Separate multiple contexts with commas
( If left blank, discovery operations will discover all neighbor VRFs in the network. Note: Unless specified by BlueCat support, leave this field empty. The
Network Discovery app will automatically discover all available
neighbor VRF contexts in the network.
|
SNMP community list |
Note: This field is displayed only if you select v1 or v2c as the
SNMP version.
The SNMP community string. Separate items in this list with commas ( |
SNMP User List |
Note: This field is displayed only if you select v3 as the SNMP
version.
The SNMP user string. Separate items in this list with commas
( |
SNMP context |
Note: This field is displayed only if you select v3 as the SNMP
version.
The SNMP context string. |
SNMP security level |
Note: This field is displayed only if you select v3 as the SNMP
version.
SNMP security level for the device. This can be NOAUTHNOPRIV, AUTHNOPRIV, or AUTHPRIV. |
SNMP authentication type |
Note: This field is displayed only if you select
AUTHNOPRIV or
AUTHPRIV as the security
level.
The SNMP authentication type for the device. This can be MD5 or SHA. |
SNMP authentication passphrase |
Note: This field is displayed only if you select
AUTHNOPRIV or
AUTHPRIV as the security
level.
The SNMP authentication password for the device. Note: Each time you update details of any device that's configured to
use SNMPv3, you must also re-enter the SNMP authentication
passphrase and SNMP privacy passphrase for that device. If you
choose to update the passphrase while updating the device details,
enter the new passphrase and then click
Save.
|
SNMP privacy type |
Note: This field is displayed only if you select
AUTHPRIV as the security
level.
The SNMP privacy type for the device. This can be DES or AES128. |
SNMP privacy passphrase |
Note: This field is displayed only if you select
AUTHPRIV as the security
level.
The SNMP privacy password for the device. Note: Each time you update details of any device that's configured to
use SNMPv3, you must also re-enter the SNMP authentication
passphrase and SNMP privacy passphrase for that device. If you
choose to update the passphrase while updating the device details,
enter the new passphrase and then click
Save.
