Before importing switches using SNMP discovery, you must enable SNMP on the device and verify that you can execute snmpwalk from the appliance. You will need the IP address and community string for the device. To verify SNMP connectivity, from the appliance, run the following command against your target device:
snmpwalk -v2c -c public xxx.xxx.xxx.xxx (this is the IP address).
