Managing Devices
This section describes how you can add new devices, delete existing devices, and
perform basic device configuration.
Checking a Device
When you add a device, OmniVista SafeGuard Manager checks to ensure that the device
is a Alcatel-Lucent device. No other devices are added. The check ensures that:
■ the device has a valid Alcatel-Lucent IP address
■ SNMP community names match the names configured on the device
■ the device added is a Alcatel-Lucent device
If the compatibility check fails, an error message is displayed.
Adding a New Device
OmniVista SafeGuard Manager allows you to add a single device or multiple devices
from a list of devices that you create using a specific format.
Adding a Single Device
To add a single device:
1 Select the Device Configuration icon from the Page Bar or select the View > Go To >
Config Management menu item.
2 Click the New icon from the Action Bar.
3 Select Single Device. The New Device (Figure 60) dialog box displays.
