The following statuses indicate a problem with the device. You cannot deploy to devices with these statuses:

• Unreachable—The QPM server cannot establish basic network connectivity to the device.
  
  
• SNMP Error—The device has an SNMP error that is preventing QPM from gathering the data it needs to work with the device. These are the common causes:
  
  
• The device public community string entered in QPM is incorrect.
  
  
• QPM can't read all of the necessary SNMP information from the device, possibly because there are corrupted or missing MIBs.
  
  
• The device does not have a functioning SNMP engine.
  
  
• The SNMP request timed out, typically because the device or network was too congested to respond before the timeout limit. The possible resolutions are to increase the SNMP timeout value and to increase the number of SNMP retries.
  
  
• Telnet Error—QPM cannot connect to the device using Telnet. These are the common causes:
  
  
• The device Telnet password entered in QPM is incorrect. Correct the Telnet password in QPM.
  
  
• SSH is enabled but SSH login failed because SSH is not configured correctly on the device. Fix the SSH configuration on the device.
  
  
• The login to the device failed.
  
  
• There is no Telnet connection to the device.

The following statuses indicate a problem with the device. You cannot deploy to devices with these statuses:

• Unreachable—The QPM server cannot establish basic network connectivity to the device.
  
  
• SNMP Error—The device has an SNMP error that is preventing QPM from gathering the data it needs to work with the device. These are the common causes:
  
  
• The device public community string entered in QPM is incorrect.
  
  
• QPM can't read all of the necessary SNMP information from the device, possibly because there are corrupted or missing MIBs.
  
  
• The device does not have a functioning SNMP engine.
  
  
• The SNMP request timed out, typically because the device or network was too congested to respond before the timeout limit. The possible resolutions are to increase the SNMP timeout value and to increase the number of SNMP retries.
  
  
• Telnet Error—QPM cannot connect to the device using Telnet. These are the common causes:
  
  
• The device Telnet password entered in QPM is incorrect. Correct the Telnet password in QPM.
  
  
• SSH is enabled but SSH login failed because SSH is not configured correctly on the device. Fix the SSH configuration on the device.
  
  
• The login to the device failed.
  
  
• There is no Telnet connection to the device.
