2.1.1 BlueCat

In order for Indeni to run its full set of discovery and interrogation scripts for BlueCat Address Manager and BlueCat DNS/DHCP Server, both SSH & SNMP access are required. For SSH access, a root user needs to be used to connect your system. Before adding a BlueCat device, make sure the SSH credential for the root user is provided in Credentials Set.

SNMP

Before configuring the SNMP credential set, enable SNMP service on BlueCat Address Manager:

Enable SNMP service on BlueCat DNS/DHCP Server:
https://docs.bluecatnetworks.com/r/Address-Manager-Administration-Guide/Enabling-SNMP-service-on-DNS/DHCP-Servers/9.5.0?tocId=m1bRY6lv5ui84YyRUXQXZw
