• Save the html form as a filename. This file can then be transferred to the NMS if there is no internet access from the NMS
server. The WebGen Import form is then used to access this file so it can be imported.
• The WebGen Import form is brought up and the results are pasted directly into the form and imported.
To access the WebGen Import Form, use the Start Menu and Select Programs -> <NMS Load> -> Tools. This will bring up
the WebGen Import form shown in the following figure.
FIGURE 5-43 WebGen Import Form
To use the WebGen form directly, paste the results of the Generate command directly into the form and then Select Import.
A pop-up window will appear indicating that the passwords were successfully imported, so that during software downloads
performed at the NMS, the ENABLE commands with the passwords are already included.
To use a saved file, type in the name of the file or (more likely) use the Browse button and locate the file. Select Import, and
the same message and action occurs as when using the form directly.
If any errors occur during parsing, a dialog box will appear indicating the error condition.
Note: To easily gather device attributes so they may be copied and pasted in WebGen, the user can create a
Custom View of the Network Inventory/Nodes component and have only the selected devices with the
selected attributes appear. This would mean changing either the Select Props to View or Additional
Props to match what you wish to capture. You can then select the row with the mouse, use Control-C to
copy, then go to the appropriate window and Control-V to paste.
