Adding Devices Individually - Extreme Networks EPICenter 7.1 Getting Started Manual

■
The SNMP write community string (for SNMP v1 devices)
■
The protocol used for communicating with the device (HTTP or
HTTPS)
■
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 EPICenter without doing a discovery. In this case you
can use the Add Device function to add a device to the inventory. Select
New > Device from the File menu.
Figure 8 shows an example of adding individual devices to EPICenter. For
each device you want to add, enter the device's IP address and click New.
