Creating a Device

Open Start Menu/Lawo GmbH/vSnmp/vSnmp Editor
In the upcoming Connect dialog, enter localhost and click Connect. The vSnmp Editor will now connect to the vSnmp Manager service running on the local system.
Press the button next to Device Classes to open the device dialog.
As class name, enter the model name of the device you want to manage (e.g. “HP LaserJet 1522”). As the device name, choose a name that identifies the concrete unit you are dealing with (e.g. the unit’s location or serial number). Under Address enter the IP address or host name of the device. Now press OK.
Now you have created an empty device. Select it and switch to the MIB Tree tab on the left side of the screen.

You can change the SNMP passwords for reading and writing under “Read Community and “Write Community”.
If the device you want to set up does not use the default UDP ports 161 (for receiving SNMP requests) and 162 (to send SNMP traps to), you can change these ports under “Advanced”.
In the tree, navigate to org.dod.internet.mgmt.mib-2.system and drag the node system to the device view on the right:
If the device is online, you can now see some basic information about the device.
Now save the device class to the vSnmp Manager by clicking Check In in the top right corner of the screen.

Discovered Devices

vSNMP will periodically scan the network for SNMP-enabled devices. These devices are listed under Discovered Devices in the Devices
You can manage a discovered device by right-clicking the discovered device and selecting Create Device Class to create a new device class describing the model of the discovered device or by clicking Add to Device Class in the same context menu.
Devices discovery in vSNMP uses UDP broadcast messages. Therefore, you will not find any devices if your network hardware is configured to disallow broadcast messages.
