NOTE: Make sure that the attributes are specified correctly; otherwise,
adding a device fails producing one of the following error messages,
“Device unreachable,” or “Device is not a Alcatel-Lucent device,” or “Unable
to communicate with IP Address.”
NOTE: The device periodically ages out the visualization data; therefore,
some of the events may be lost by the time you add the device.
NOTE: The device must be reachable with appropriate community
strings for the device to be added.
