SnmpCommunityString in GlobalSettings.props

[Stefan Laemmer]

Hi All,
while working on my SNMP errors, i was perusing the GlobalSettings.props file. Anyone have an idea why it has the following in it:

SnmpCommunityString=Public
SnmpControlCommunityString=Private

If it should read the Trap Strings from the Service, or do we have to modify the .props file for this to actually work ?
Thanks for any insight....

'SnmpCommunityString' is what HP SIM will use when contacting a device regardless of what the HP SIM system's SNMP service has as community strings. You can set this on an individual device basis if necessary as well.

HP SIM does not do any SNMP write operations across the network, so effectively 'SnmpControlCommunityString' is not used.

Thanks David.
I changed them in my .props file, but it didnt improve my SNMP errors. Worth a try though..
