From this portal, operators can add, configure, monitor or manage either one device at a time or multiple
devices. In addition, operators can create batch jobs for managing more than one device.
Adding devices
IMC provides operators with several methods for adding devices. Operators can add devices manually,
by importing a comma delimited list of devices and their attributes, or by using one of IMC five auto
discovery methods:
• Routing-based
• ARP-based
• IPSec VPN-based
• Network segment–based
• PPP-based
Finally, operators can use IMC batch operation feature for adding devices.
Viewing devices
IMC also provides operators with four different views for monitoring and managing devices, all of which
provide operators with access to IMC device monitoring and management features:
• Device View—Groups devices by device type.
• IP View—Groups devices by IP address.
• Network Topology View—Offers operators a physical view of devices by generating a topology
map of the network. Operators can create custom maps down to individual racks in the data center.
Topology maps down to data center maps in IMC are active. A left mouse click on a topology map
provides device monitoring information. A right mouse click on a topology map provides operators
with device configuration and management features.
• Custom View—Provides operators with user-defined views to support the needs of their
organization. IMC incorporates access control features into the custom view enabling
administrators to manage access to devices through the use of these views. All views provide
operators with summary color-coded views of current alarm status for devices in each view.
Device Details page
The Device Details page provides the following information for operators to ascertain the health and
status of a device:
• Summary information—Includes device label and system name, IP address and mask, location and
contact information, hardware, product and serial number information.
• Real time data—Includes performance data, real time service monitoring data, and configuration
management details.
From the Device Details page, operators can perform the following tasks:
• Test connectivity with the device through ping or traceroute operations.
• Manage the device by accessing the device with Telnet or SSH or launching a Web Manager or
Device Panel view.
• Modify the device management parameters, including:
{
Login parameters, including SNMP, Telnet, and SSH settings.
{
Polling and pinging settings for periodical data and status collection.
