ADDM 9.0 adds support for many more devices (1,500 more) than earlier releases out of box, and includes a UI to easily add support for several classes of devices even if ADDM does not identify them by default. (For the overview of what else is new in ADDM 9, see here: http://discovery.bmc.com/confluence/display/90/New+in+this+version)
Discovery via SNMPv3 is of course supported too. Ssh-based discovery of network kit tends to work poorly as the OSes they run are very barebones and mostly don't provide the kind of information you want from them. SNMP is definitely the way to go.

But when we click on the corresponding IP address, it knows that the device is a Cisco device (just unsupported) so its finding and recognizing it correctly as a Cisco device. Has anyone come across this and have a solution? Also, has anyone used SSH as a discovery method for switches/routers? We currently use SSH to discover Unix/Linux devices but curious how to set up for network devices since we dont see in the configuration. Thanks for any ideas.
