Hello everyone,

Today, I will share with you whether eSight can add devices through SNMPv2c.

Question

Can devices be added on eSight through the SNMP v2c when only the write community name rather than the read community name is configured?

NO. Devices cannot be added. See scenario 3.

Read and write community names have the following application scenarios.

Read community name: This parameter is used when users expect that low-level network administrators have the read-only permission in a specified view.
Write community name: This parameter is used when users expect that high-level network administrators have the read and write permissions in a specified view.

Scenario	Whether Read Community Name Configured	Whether Write Community Name Configured	Can Be Added to eSight	Condition for Devices Added to eSight
Scenario 1	√	√	√	When you add a device, the read and write community names must be consistent with these on the device.
Scenario 2	√	×	√	When you add a device, the read community name must be consistent with that on the device. NOTE: If only the read community name is configured, users can only check the device information but cannot modify the device configuration or deliver a tasks for the device.
Scenario 3	×	√	×	When you add a device, the read and write community names must be consistent with the write community name on the device.

That is all I want to share with you! Thank you!
