Creating Device
Folders
SNMP D
Use EMS to create SNMP device folders and discover SNMP devices in
your existing network. This section does not discuss how to configure
SNMP devices currently discovered in your network (for example,
configuring VLANs or media processing). To configure SNMP devices
according to your customized needs, see the related documentation for
that specific device type.
Use the explorer tree view when configuring SNMP devices. Do not use
the List view. For more information, see
View and List View
While performing certain maintenance functions on SNMP devices (for
example, upgrading software), you may need to rediscover SNMP
devices.
All managed devices are added initially to one or more folders you create
in the Equipment root folder and they are also added to the System
Defined Logical Views as links to the original devices in the Equipment
folders. The Equipment folder is the root of all SNMP devices for the EMS
GUI. Once you have added a folder under the Equipment main folder and
assigned it a label, you can use the discovery feature to add SNMP
devices. You can also assign root views (of a specific device folder) to a
particular user. For more information, see
