LiveNX utilizes SNMP protocol to discover network devices. Once the devices are discovered, LiveNX uses SNMP to monitor and poll statistical information from network devices. LiveNX requires SNMP read-only strings. Utilizing SNMP, LiveNX can capture the Hostname, CPU, Memory, Number of Interfaces, etc. of a device. LiveNX recommends that a network device should be configured with a SNMP community string or SNMPv3 credentials for collection of SNMP data sets. Configure SNMP settings prior to managing in LiveNX to ensure that the devices are managed, and administrators can get immediate value from LiveNX.
