Mainly Cisco, Juniper and Enterasys devices are supported as of 8.1SP2. There is quite a huge list of supported devices sorted by OID in the Network Configuration Manager documentation PDF on the doc disk. > What happens, when a new device type will add to spectrum? See below... > Will it saved in the next saving cycle or must I configure something > for doing this? As soon as a device is prepared for config management (see below), SPECTRUM listens to config mgmt traps - as far as they are configured on the device - and polls the config. As long as you have a Global Sync Task configured, the device will also be polled in the cylce configured there. There is also the option to (globally) configure an initial config capture as soon as a new device is modelled - as long as it gets inserted in to the Global Collections mentioned below. Be aware that you have to use the R/W community string in most cases since NCM uses SNMP to instruct the device (at least with Cisco) to upload its config. > Does the configration manager save all devices which are monitored > by spectrum, or must I create a list of the devices which should > be saved? There are Global Collections for Cisco IOS devices, Cisco CatOS devices, Juniper devices etc. - automatically updated as soon as a device is modelled. You can also define your own Global Collections and configure scripts or ways of capture for this particular group of devices. > Where are the configurations saved? I mean are they in a file with > the device name, or is the config saved in the database? When I first evaluated NCM, I must say I wasn't surprised to see that the config files are models in SPECTRUM, associated with the device model. The actual config is octetstring'ed in one attribute. Try a show model in CLI to find out. > How is the saving triggered on the network devices (by snmp, telnet > or ssh)? Many configurable ways. I don't wanna say RTFM, but the doc is quite clear in that manner, compared to other SPECTRUM docs ;-) Best Regards Berthold --- To unsubscribe from spectrum, send email to [email protected] with the body: unsubscribe spectrum [email protected] --- To unsubscribe from spectrum, send email to [email protected] with the body: unsubscribe spectrum [email protected]
