Resource Management covers the configuration of templates and device vendor, series and model
definitions that support you in easily managing access to network devices.
In addition, Resource Management also includes the configuration of filters, which are used by port
groups to filter interfaces.
Device access templates
Device access templates enable you to save SNMP, Telnet, SSH, SOAP/HTTP, PowerShell, and WMI
configuration settings that IMC uses to access network devices. You can apply these templates when
adding devices to IMC, performing auto discovery to populate IMC with newly discovered devices, or to
configure device parameters in individual device or batch mode.
SNMP templates
IMC uses SNMP to query and manage remote network devices. The SNMP template feature allows you
to save SNMP configuration settings in IMC, which can then be applied when adding new devices to
IMC. SNMP templates store IMC SNMP configurations for devices to support IMC communication with
the device. SNMP Templates do not configure the SNMP settings on the device itself.
This feature is particularly useful for organizations that use a variety of SNMP configurations, such as
using different SNMP configurations based on device type, geographical location, or organizational
support models.
Viewing the SNMP template list
To view the SNMP template list:
1. Navigate to System > SNMP Template.
a. Click the System tab from the tabular navigation system on the top.
b. Click Resource Management on the navigation tree on the left.
c. Click SNMP Template under Resource Management from the navigation system on the left.
IMC displays all SNMP templates in the SNMP Template List displayed in the main pane of the
System SNMP Template window.
SNMP Template List
• Name: Contains the SNMP template name.
• Parameter type: Identifies which version of SNMP this template is configured for.
• Timeout (seconds): Contains the SNMP timeout value for the associated template. The Timeout
counter determines how long IMC waits for an SNMP reply from the managed device before
declaring that the request has timed out.
• Retries: Contains the SNMP retries value for the associated template. The retries parameter defines
how many times the management system (IMC) sends SNMP retries in an attempt to communicate
with the managed device before reporting a failure.
• Modify: Contains an icon for navigating to the Modify SNMP Template page for the associated
template.
• Delete: Contains an icon for deleting the associated template.
Adding an SNMPv1 or v2c template
To add a SNMPv1 or v2c template:
1. Navigate to System > SNMP Template.
