# SNMP Scan Form

The SNMP Scan form contains all of the information required to discover SNMP assets.

To access other SNMP Scan records or to delete SNMP scans, see the [SNMP Scan List](/v1/docs/snmp-scan-list).

## SNMP Scan fields

| Field | Description |
| --- | --- |
| **Name** | The name you select for this SNMP scan. |
| **RDS** | Select the RDS you want this scan to use to scan for the assets. |
| **SNMP Version** | Select the version of SNMP you want to use when scanning your network. If a device does not support the selected SNMP version, it may not be discovered during the scan. |
| **Credentials** | Select the credentials to apply to the RDS you select for this SNMP scan. To view all of the existing sets of credentials or create a new set of credentials, see the [Credentials list](/v1/docs/credentials-list). Be sure that the selected credentials contains the correct community name in the User Name field, and that the password field contains the [community string](/v1/docs/snmp-scan-list). Also ensure that the Valid for SNMP check box is selected. |
| **Start IP** | Enter the starting IP address for the IP range you want to scan. |
| **End IP** | Enter the ending IP address. |
| **Exclude IP List** | Enter IPs you want to exclude from thedefined IP range. Use commas to separate multiple entries. |
| **Schedule** | Select the check box if you'd like this scan to run on a defined schedule. |
| **Next Run** | If you selected the Schedule check box, select the first date to automatically run the scan. |
| **Repeat Every** | Select the interval on which the scan runs. |
| **Quick** | Select the check box for a quick scan. When selected for this scan, SysAid runs the scan on the **online** computers within the defined IP range only. A quick scan is faster, but may miss any computers that come online after the list of online computers is prepared. |

When you complete the form, select **Apply** or **OK**.

To manually run this scan, click **Run Now**.
