Adding a node (pollable device)
You will need the following information before creating a node (also referred to as a pollable device):
•
Parent container name (this is the container into which the new node will be added) (see section
“Parent
Container”
on page 44 for more information)
•
Display name (this is the name of the new node as it will appear on the ForeSight 6100 display) (see section
“Display Name”
on page 44 for more information)
•
IP address (see section
“IP Address”
on page 45 for more information)
•
SNMP community string (an SNMP community string is an unencrypted text string that acts as a pass-
word used to authenticate messages sent between the ForeSight 6100 and the node). Usually, this string
consists of the “read community string” which is the monitor password. Under certain circumstances, how-
ever (see section
“Choose Proxy”
on page 57), it must be the “write” community string, which is the
superuser password.
•

the ForeSight Management Interface Specification (FMIS) set of standards):
