The **Management** **Status** page (**Device** **Viewer** > **Settings** **&** **Status** > **Management** **Status**) displays the same visual indicators as shown for the device in the **Network** **Explorer** > **Discovery** page. Each discovery indicator shows a related status message.

Device credentials are a critical element in ensuring a device can be managed. You can add SNMP and CLI credentials to any individual discovered device. For more information, see <u>*[Adding and Testing SNMP Credentials for a Device](https://infoblox-docs.atlassian.net/wiki/spaces/netmri760/pages/357794568)*</u> and <u>*[Adding and Testing CLI Credentials for a Device](https://infoblox-docs.atlassian.net/wiki/spaces/netmri760/pages/357468401)*</u>.
