    • If applying changes to a device class:
      1. Select the class in the devices hierarchy.
      2. Click Details.
      3. Select Configuration Properties.
    • If applying changes to a device:
      1. Click the device in the device list.
      2. Select Configuration Properties.

  2. Edit the appropriate configuration properties for the device or devices.

    Foundry Configuration Properties | | | |--------------------|-------------------------------------------------------------------------------------| | Name | Description | | zSnmpCommunity | Consult with your network administrators to determine the SNMP community permitted. | | zSnmpMonitorIgnore | Set to a value of False. | | zSnmpPort | The default port is 161. | | zSnmpVer | Set to a value of v2c. |
