How do I create a classic reachability policy?

Purpose

Use this procedure to create a management ping policy to specify how the NSP checks the connection to device management IP addresses on classic devices.

Note: You must enable scheduling for a ping policy to be active. When scheduling is not enabled, and an assigned managed device is not reachable, management connection alarms may not be raised.

During creation of a discovery rule, reachability policies are assigned for in-band management, out of band management, and SNMP reachability.
