Where to enter them

Both routes show the fields above (in the Add credentials dialog from the Devices table, or Edit device credentials from the device page), together with the model's setup instructions when it has any.

From the Devices table — select one or more devices that need these same parameters (they show Missing Credentials), then click Add Credentials in the action bar. The button is enabled only when every selected device has identical requirements (usually the same model):

Devices
☑ C9300StandaloneCisco🔒 Missing Credentials

From the device page — open the device (it shows the isn't reporting data yet banner), then Manage → Edit device credentials:

Devices › C9300
C9300  Cisco · Standalone
This device isn't reporting data yet

Open Manage → Edit device credentials to add its parameters. The device may still show as reachable, but it won't report data until they're set.

Once saved, the Missing Credentials flag clears and the device starts reporting — your confirmation it worked.
