60 Performing Administrative Tasks
• SNMP Timeout values are entered in milliseconds. They limit the time allotted to wait for a
response from each IP address that is being checked. The default value is intentionally set to
a high number to make certain that all devices on a slow network are discovered. You may set
the timeout value considerably lower than the default (5000 milliseconds) to speed discovery.
•The SNMP Read Community on Scalar SNCs is set to public by default. Unless you have
changed that value on appliances in your network, the server value should also be set to
public. SNMP Read Community values on the appliance must match those on the server.

The Discover Appliance dialog box is displayed.

If the appliance is already in the current view of the current portal, a message reports that fact.
If the appliance is not in the current view, it is added to the master portal affiliated with the current view.
A message reports the addition.
Configuring the SNMP Community Strings
SNMP community strings are a part of the software agent’s messaging functionality that serve to group
network devices into logical collections for management purposes. The community strings on the server
must match those on the appliance(s) you wish to manage.
Note
Appliances added to a view by using Discover Appliance do not automatically
become permanent members of the view, even if the view is saved after they
have been discovered. To make them permanent, use Modify Discovery
Configuration to add their IP addresses to the discovery configuration string.
CAUTION
Do not edit the SNMP Community Strings values without consulting
your ADIC customer service representative.
