To associate a device with a discovery rule

Purpose

After a discovery rule is deleted, any managed devices associated with the discovery rule are not associated with a discovery rule. Perform this procedure to associate one or more managed devices with a discovery rule to ensure that the devices are included in subsequent network administration activities.

Steps
 

Choose Administration→Discovery Manager from the NFM-P main menu. The Discovery Manager (Edit) form opens with the Discovery rules tab displayed.


Select the discovery rule to associate the NE with and click Properties, or use the Create button to create a discovery rule. The Topology Discovery Rule (Edit) form opens.

Note: Ensure that the mediation policy and other policies associated with the discovery rule are appropriate for the devices that you intend to add.


Click on the Rule Elements tab.


Select an exiting rule element and click Properties, or use the Create button to create a new rule element.

Note: The rule element must be configured to include the device IP address, for example, explicitly or using a subnet specification.


Click Assign Node and use the form that opens to select the devices that you want to add to the discovery rule.


Click OK. The devices are associated with the discovery rule.


Click OK to save the change, if required, and close the form.


Close the Discovery Manager (Edit) form.
