If you do not have an IP address already assigned, you can assign one from your network subnets to your selected component by clicking on the + icon.

You can select the SNMP version. Currently Pathfinder support v1, v2, v2c and v3. If you select SNMPv3, you will have to fill in the user credentials here.

For SNMP the port number is 161 by default.
