The following configuration parameters outline some of the parameters from the genericne.GenericNEProfile class required to develop an SML request that can be used to create a GNE profile. It does not include the parameters for configuring trap management and interface types.

• product name - used to specify the NE Type (mandatory on create)

• description (optional)

• system object ID (mandatory on create). The system object ID can be one of the following types:

  • system ID of the network element (specifies the SNMP OID for the specific product and is unique)

  • partial system ID (to facilitate the discovery of different network element types for a family of products, for example, Cisco product the general system object ID 1.3.6.1.4.1.9.1.*)

• If the devices discovered by the profile are using the NFM-P script management feature, you can configure the following parameters for the CLI profile that are used for read and write CLI access:

  • commandPrompt

  • DisablePagingCommand

  • errorIndicator

  • resetCommand

  • twoStepsLogin

• the following CLI parameters can be configured as valid CLI commands for read and write access privileges:

  • readLoginPrompt

  • readPasswordPrompt

  • writeAccessLoginCommand

  • enablingWriteAccessLoginPrompt

  • writeLoginPrompt

  • writePasswordPrompt

See the XML API SDK Sample Code Navigator for sample XML scripts.

Note: You cannot modify the GNE type after you create the GNE profile. You must delete the GNE profile and create a new profile with the GNE type. You cannot delete the GNE profile if any NEs have been discovered using the profile.
