Adding Devices Individually - Extreme Networks EPICenter Guide Manual

Figure 6: Results of a discovery
To add devices to the database, select the set of devices you want to add and click the Add button.
For each device or set of devices you add to the inventory database, EPICenter first asks you to provide
contact information for those devices:
The device login name and password
●
The EPICenter Device Group in which the device should be place
●
The SNMP write community string (for SNMP v1 devices)
●
The User Name, Privacy and Authentication protocols and passwords for SNMP V3 devices
●
EPICenter pops up a dialog box where you can provide this information. It pre-fills the fields with a
default set of communication information that you can change as appropriate to the specific devices you
are adding.
The information you provide in the pop-up dialog is used for all the devices in the set you have selected
to add. Therefore, if you have devices that use different passwords, protocols, or community strings,
you must add them to the database in separate Add operations.

Adding Devices Individually

There may be a number of situations in which you want to add an individual device to the inventory
database without doing a discovery. In this case you can use the Add Device function to add a device
to the inventory. Click the Add button at the top of the page to bring up the Add Devices and Device
Groups dialog with the Device tab displayed.
