Configuring Network Configuration Protocol (NETCONF) Device Credentials in NNMi

You must configure NETCONF SSH credentials inNNMi to match those configured in the managed device before NNMi is able to communicate with that device using NETCONF.

Note If proper NETCONF credentials are not configured for a device, NNMi discovery proceeds (using SNMP only); however, the management information reported in NNMi for that device might be incomplete.

Use the NNMi console to configure NETCONF device credentials settings in the Communication Configuration, Device Credentials tab of the relevant Node-specific Settings, Region Settings, or Default Settings for the device.

Note You can configure only a single SSH user and password for each managed device. This means the same set of credentials is used for both regular SSH and NETCONF sessions to that device.

Once configured, NNMi uses the new credentials during the next discovery cycle for the specified device (node).

See the NNMi Help for Administrators for detailed instructions about how to edit the NNMi Communication Configuration forms.
