RTM 1.4 syntax for .csv file in Bulk Add Import

[iswift]

LMS 2.1 with RTM 1.4 sp4

I want to create a .csv file to import several dozen switches to RTM.

The RTM on-line help file is not clear with the syntax for switches eg. it gives an IP address of 123,45,678,90 !!

I get syntax errors when I try a file of the format :

switch, CAT_2950, SJB-222-2a-19, 10.222.1.1, ROstring, RWstring, , , LO

I have left the fields for timeout and retries at default.

Any syntax examples would be very welcome, the rest I'm sure I can work out.

1. Create a CSV file containing information about each device you want to add.

1) Create a new text file using a text editor.

2) Enter information about each device using one of the following formats:

For Switches:

Device Type, Device Name, IP Address, Read Community String, Write Community String, Retries, Timeout

~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~

automatic, Cat70, 10.100.10.10, public, private, 2, 20

automatic, Cat73, 10.20.11.73, public, private, 2, 20

automatic, Cat88, 10.20.11.88, public, private, 2, 20

For probes:

Device Type, Device Name, IP Address, Read Community String, Write Community String, Retries, Timeout

~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~

probe, HSSI, 12.20.100.14, public, private, 2, 20

2. Launch RTM Server, Select File > Bulk Add Import.

3. In the Bulk Add Import window locate your CSV file. Make sure the file name displays in the File Name field.

4. Click Bulk Add Import. The devices are added to the Device Configuration window.

Great,

That looks just right.

If I want to use the Learn-Only flag, is it supported ?

ie. I assume I just add a last field with , LO

LO should work, though I haven't tried it myself.
