If you have modified the Device Contact Password (under the Basic tab) or either of the SNMP
Community strings, on Extreme Networks devices, EPICenter asks if you want to change those
values on the switch as well as in the EPICenter database (see
Figure 31 ). This dialog appears only if
you have changed one of these three values, and lists only those that you have changed. If you
change any other values, such as the SNMPv3 settings, EPICenter does not warn you and does not
make changes on the device.
This dialog does not appear if you have changed only third-party devices.
