Adding a new set of SNMP credentials

[William382]

I'm going to move my devices off "public" for the SNMP string. I'm not 100% sure how LS is going to handle 2x set of credentials, so far not good for my switch.

I went ahead and added another set of SNMP v1/v2 string to my IP ranges. I kept getting traps from my switch(the only one I rolled over) that the wrong SNMP string was being used and the scanning progress didn't stop until I rolled back the old credentials.

Is there any good way to slowly roll over?

"Once you restart the Lansweeper service"

I did not do this. I'll re-attempted and update. The switch stayed in scanning for a very long time and the traps did not stop generating. Again, I'll re-attempted and see. 🙂

Lansweeper will always try all credentials linked to a specific IP until one actually works. The order in which credentials are tried will differ.

Once you restart the Lansweeper service, it will try all credentials from most specific to general, meaning global ones last. The credential that succeeds will be tried first in recurring scans.

I presume your switch scanning still worked, it's just that your traps noticed the other attempts?
