6 — Device commissioning and discovery
6.1

Device commissioning and discovery overview

The 5620 SAM supports the discovery and management of the 7850 VSG,
7850 VSA and standalone VSC. The discovery and provisioning of data center
devices is streamlined and accelerated using discovery rules, auto-provisioning, and
scripted post discovery actions.
The 5620 SAM also supports discovery of other Alcatel-Lucent devices and generic
NEs. Discovery and management workflows for the 7850 VSG and its variants is
similar to that of other SROS-based devices.
See the 5620 SAM User Guide for more information on device commissioning and
discovery.
See the 5650 CPAM User Guide for more information on 7701 CPAA
commissioning and discovery.
6.2

7850 VSG commissioning

The 5620 SAM supports both in-band and out-of-band management for the
7850 VSG and its variants. Before the 7850 VSG can be discovered, you must enable
and configure SNMP, SSH and Telnet through the device CLI.
Commissioning a 7850 VSG or its variants for discovery by the 5620 SAM is the
same as for other SROS-based devices, except for the note below. See the 5620 SAM
User Guide for more information and workflows.
6.3

5620 SAM device discovery

The 5620 SAM discovers NEs using SNMP. During the discovery process, the
5620 SAM scans the network for devices according to user-specified IP addresses or
address ranges. Device discovery and provisioning are simplified with discovery
rules and post-discovery actions.

Discovery rules

You can create discovery rules by using the Discovery Manager to scan the network
for multiple nodes using a specified set of discovery rules. Discovery rules use rule
elements to specify which NEs or subnets are to be included in or excluded from the
discovery process. You can use discovery rules to automatically apply various
management policies to NEs as they are discovered. You can also assign
post-discovery actions to a discovery rule to automatically execute scripts on
discovered NEs.

Note —
Before the 7850 VSG, 7850 VSA, or standalone VSC can be
managed by the 5620 SAM, you must first discover a 7701 CPAA
and associate it with an operational IGP and BGP administrative
domain for each autonomous system. If you manage NEs from
multiple domains, you should discover a 7701 CPAA for each
domain. See the 5650 CPAM User Guide for more information on
administrative domains.
