•Unreachable—The QPM server cannot establish basic network connectivity to the device.
•SNMP Error—The device has an SNMP error that is preventing QPM from gathering the data it needs to work with the device. These are the common causes:
–The device public community string entered in QPM is incorrect.
–QPM can't read all of the necessary SNMP information from the device, possibly because there are corrupted or missing MIBs.
–The device does not have a functioning SNMP engine.
–The SNMP request timed out, typically because the device or network was too congested to respond before the timeout limit. The possible resolutions are to increase the SNMP timeout value and to increase the number of SNMP retries.
•Telnet Error—QPM cannot connect to the device using Telnet. These are the common causes:
–The device Telnet password entered in QPM is incorrect. Correct the Telnet password in QPM.

In this case, you only must enter the device IP address or DNS name. If the device does not use the defaults, or you have not configured defaults, you must enter all of the device access parameters necessary to connect to the device.

|
Status column
|
Displays the device status.
The following statuses indicate that the device is working properly:
•OK
•Virtual—The device is a virtual device.
The following statuses indicate a problem with the device. Devices with these statuses are not usable in QPM:
•Unreachable—The QPM server cannot establish basic network connectivity to the device.
•SNMP Error—The device has an SNMP error that is preventing QPM from gathering the data it needs to work with the device. These are the common causes:
–The device public community string entered in QPM is incorrect.
–QPM can't read all of the necessary SNMP information from the device, possibly because there are corrupted or missing MIBs.
–The device does not have a functioning SNMP engine.
–The SNMP request timed out, typically because the device or network was too congested to respond before the timeout limit. The possible resolutions are to increase the SNMP timeout value and to increase the number of SNMP retries.
•Telnet Error—QPM cannot connect to the device using Telnet. These are the common causes:
–The device Telnet password entered in QPM is incorrect. Correct the Telnet password in QPM.
–SSH is enabled but SSH login failed because SSH is not configured correctly on the device. Fix the SSH configuration on the device.
–The login to the device failed.
–There is no Telnet connection to the device.
|
Device Group column
|
Displays the device group to which the device is assigned.
If the device group is listed as Unknown, then QPM was not yet able to determine the device group. After device discovery, the device is placed in the correct device group: either the device's ACS group, or the default device group if the device does not have an ACS group. QPM might label the device group Unknown when you add a device using a DNS name, or when you use the IP address of an interface other than the one used to register the device with ACS.

•Unreachable—The QPM server cannot establish basic network connectivity to the device.
•SNMP Error—The device has an SNMP error that is preventing QPM from gathering the data it needs to work with the device. These are the common causes:
–The device public community string entered in QPM is incorrect.
–QPM can't read all of the necessary SNMP information from the device, possibly because there are corrupted or missing MIBs.
–The device does not have a functioning SNMP engine.
–The SNMP request timed out, typically because the device or network was too congested to respond before the timeout limit. The possible resolutions are to increase the SNMP timeout value and to increase the number of SNMP retries.
•Telnet Error—QPM cannot connect to the device using Telnet. These are the common causes:
–The device Telnet password entered in QPM is incorrect. Correct the Telnet password in QPM.
–SSH is enabled but SSH login failed because SSH is not configured correctly on the device. Fix the SSH configuration on the device.
–The login to the device failed.
–There is no Telnet connection to the device.

Sync Privileges Page
Use this page to manually synchronize the user permissions and device group information in the inventory with ACS or CiscoWorks Common Services (depending on which you are using to administer device groups and user permissions).
Typically you would synchronize in the following cases:
•When you know changes have been made to the ACS or CiscoWorks Common Services device group assignments or access privileges.
•When your CiscoWorks user role has changed since you logged into QPM.
To open this page, select Devices > Options. The Update Passwords page appears. Then select Sync Privileges from the TOC.
Note If you are using ACS mode, this view only gives you a high-level view of your privileges. Although this table might show that you have a privilege, you might not have all the sub-privileges for that privilege type. If you find that you cannot perform a task even though this page indicates you have permission, first press Sync to synchronize with ACS. If you still cannot perform the task, view the privilege settings within ACS to determine if you are missing a sub-privilege.
