When I enter writeable SNMP community, it cannot find the device type. When I enter Readable SNMP community, it finds the device type. What should I do to be able to use the port admin module?
If you assign a single management profile with a writeable SNMP community to a device, NAV will use that for both read and write operations. Not sure why the device would not report correctly if a writeable community is used, but devices can sometimes have strange access rules associated with each community string.
You can assign more than one SNMP profile to a device. NAV will prefer the non-writeable profile for read requests and use only the write profile for write requests, such as in PortAdmin.
Also be aware that, while Seed DB may be unable to make an automatic type identification at the time you add a device, the background polling process (ipdevpoll) will always assign a type - it will even create new type entries if it cannot find one. As it stands, it may take a couple of runs of the inventory job for the type assignment to stick properly.
