  - •

    version:3,username:admin,authprotocol:sha,authpassword:s3cr3t

  - •

    etc.

- **--timeout** *TIME*

## EXAMPLES

Run a discovery against a network range, using SNMP version 1:

```
    $> fusioninventory-netdiscovery --first 192.168.0.1 --last 192.168.0.254 \
    --community public
```

Run a discovery against a network range, using multiple SNMP credentials:

```
    $> fusioninventory-netdiscovery --first 192.168.0.1 --last 192.168.0.254 \
    --credentials version:2c,community:public \
    --credentials version:3,username:admin,authprotocol:sha,authpassword:s3cr3t
```
