Title: Message

My main IM is 3.7.1.  It doesn't work... Only sets community on the one I clicked.  The group stays highlighted, but only the one changes.

the global SNMP change is already built in, and has been for as long as i can remember...

 

1) select devices

2) control click one of them

3) set community

Yes, a global change would be great!  Last year we changed the community strings in our entire WAN (700 SNMP devices) in an hour via software scripting.  But it took us a full day's work to get IM matched up.

SNMP community-string changing

In our network we use about 200 network devices. Recently we decided to change the snmp- strings for security reasons.

It would be a great help when is was possible to change a few variables in bulk

-     the community-string
-     the probe-type

I have also encountered the following problems

-     disappearing of device-interfaces in the Maps because of changing de
snmp-community or snmp-probe

   I understand de logic of rebuilding a device when changing the probe,
   but when you  choose to stop polling or change it for testing in
   ping-probe  there must be a possibility to stop the rebuilding.
   Also could it be useful to build a delay in de rebuilding system and a
   warning with a yes/no button.
   Building maps cost me a lost of time !!!!!!!

   I have  further more request. The question  is there a overview of  the
   user-requests so I can make a list?
