Dell OpenManage Network Manager Quick Start Manual page 10

The Filters (by Location, Vendor, or Device Type) let you narrow the list of devices discovered
by the selected item(s). As the screen says, this filtering will not have any impact on the
processing that occurs during the Inspection step.
CAUTION:
Model numbers may change when you upgrade. You may need to change any pre-existing filters that
refer to model numbers. These may not change until you perform a resync on some devices.
Network
After you click Next, the Network screen appears.
5
Network Type and Addresses— Select the type of entry in the pick list (IP Address(es),
CIDR Address, Hostname, SNMP Broadcast, Subnet).
You can specify an IP Address range by separating the beginning and end with a dash. For example:
192.168.1.1 - 192.168.1.240.
The tooltips in the data entry field describe what valid entries look like.
Authentication—You can Create new, or Choose existing authentications. (See Discovery
6
Profiles on page 65 for details.) Notice that authentications appear with Edit / Delete icons
and Up / Down arrows on their right. The Edit icon opens the authentication editor. Click the
arrows to arrange the order in which credentials are tried (top first). Ordering only applies
when two credentials are of the same type.
Actions
You can configure Actions to run as part of discovery. By default, the actions screen includes
7
the Resync action. Use Add Action to select others to enter here. You can also edit parameters
(if available), delete and re-order the actions listed here by clicking the icons to the right of
them. Dell OpenManage Network Manager executes them in top-to-bottom order.
Inspection
Inspect Network using your current settings—This screen lets you preview the discovery
8
profile's actions and access to devices. If you clicked Next rather than Inspect at the bottom of
the previous screen, click Start Inspection to begin the inspection process for selected
authentications that validates the device's credentials.
Notice that the Auth Test Status fields below listed authentications indicates the success or
failure of Ping, Hostname resolution, and the listed Authentications.
If the device does not match all required authentications, you can click the Fix it icon
(wrench and screwdriver crossed) to edit them for the selected device. You can also click Test
Device, Create New, or Choose Existing authentications while in the editor clicking the Fix it
icon displays.
