Dear Shaik Mahboob Ali,

Of course, this can be done using DCE software. Step by step how to do it I described in the recent topic . The only difference is only in the choice of parameters for editing, for example as it is shown in my screenshot:

Try it, it should work for you.

With respect.

Dear Shaik Mahboob Ali,

I am getting communication lost and cannot see any values on web and displayed as devices unplugged but i can access the device. What could be the issue ?

1. Have you changed the public community string to your own secret string on the DCE-server as I explained it in your topic ?
2. Next, you changed the public community string to your own secret string (similar to the item 1) on your device, as I explained in this topic in the screenshot above?

updated below picture from one of the device failed to contact with server.

From what device is this screenshot? Can you show it where you could see the description of the error or problem?

In addition, usually SNMP devices do not initiates a communication with the DCE-server, but on the contrary: the DCE server initiates a communication session using the SNMP protocol with the device. Therefore, the problem with communication can be seen on the DCE-server, but not on the device as you explain it.

With respect.
