• If you do not want to enable the authentication, proceed to next step to initiate the config-
uration collection. If the SVP IP address is not saved earlier, you can manually enter the
SVP IP address.
• The inband mode - In this case, you can do one of the following based on your requirement:
• If the command device being used for collection has authentication enabled, select the
Authentication Enabled check box. Enter the credentials (RWC user name and password)
that have privileges to use the command device, and proceed to next step to initiate the
configuration collection.
• If you do not want to enable the authentication, proceed to next step to initiate the config-
uration collection.
If authentication is required and you do not enable it, the configuration data collection will fail.
