On the GUI SNMP panel, all customers that we tested told us that they want the ability to test the manager host name or IP address that they provide to be sure that it is accurate. Right now, the BMC does not have this ability.

My team did some digging around on the internet and found this SNMP query suggestion. https://support.panorama9.com/hc/en-us/articles/203568188-Test-if-SNMP-devices-are-responding-correctly-to-SNMP-queries

I am looking for feedback on whether we should implement something similar?
- If we get a response from an SNMP enabled device in the backend, then we would provide a  validation message like "Device responded to the SNMP query"

- If we do not get a response, then we would provide a validation message like "Invalid host name or IP address, or the device did not respond to the SNMP query"

I am open to suggestions for the messages.
