Device discovery

[u346874_2]

Any idea what is the best way discover over 1000 devices in a frame relay network where cdp is not allowed.(using LMS 2.5, Campus Manager 4.0.1)

You would have to put a seed device from each site :(

[u346874_2]

That what i was afraid. Is there any file to use when collectin devices. Thanks again information nhabib.

[nhabib]

The seed devices are saved into the DeviceDiscovery.properties file

It resides in CSCOpx/campus/etc/cwsi

Be very careful if trying to edit the file as any syntax error would cause Device Discovery to fail

Also, the file should only be edited if the CiscoWorks processes are stopped

Thanks nhabib.

Do you mean that if i stop crmdmgtd process that is not enough. Should i stop some other processes.

[nhabib]

crmdmgtd controls the processes that need to be stopped

thus, stop / start crmdmgtd will be sufficient

Hi,

If you have the devices in a other tool you could export them, and then import them in RME!

Then sync RME with Campus manager

(Should work never tried)

[nhabib]

You cannot sync devices from RME to Campus. You can only sycn the device credentials (i.e. RO / RW strings) from RME to Campus. In order to sync the credentials, the device needs to be in Campus already.

The only way to populate the Campus Manager database is via discovery
