Adding Multiple Devices from a CSV File

You can add devices in bulk from a CSV file to AirWave. Here you also have the option of specifying vendor name
only, and AirWave will automatically determine the correct type while bringing up the device. If your CSV file
includes make and model information, AirWave will add the information provided in the CSV file as it did
before. It will not override what you have specified in this file in any way.
The CSV list must contain the following columns:
IP Address

SNMP Community String
