New Features in IPM 2.6
These are the new features in IPM 2.6:
• Support for importing device from Device and Credential Repository — IPM 2.6 provides you the
facility to import devices from the Device and Credential Repository. You can import devices as
Sources, as Target SAA Responders, or as Target IP Devices.
• Differentiated Service Code Point (DSCP) support — In IPM 2.6 users are provided with the feature
of selecting either the IP Precedence settings or DSCP setting.
• Source interface on collector — In the earlier IPM releases, users could not specify a source
interface configuration on an individual collector basis while configuring a collector. IPM 2.6 has
features to overcome this limitation.
• Device Center Integration — In IPM 2.6, the Device Center will be launched for devices in IPM.
The Device Center will be launched irrespective of whether a device is present in Device and
Credential Repository or not.
• Improved Scalability— IPM 2.6 supports 2000 collectors in one single IPM Server.
• SSL Compliance — IPM 2.6 is SSL compliant and enables secure HTTP communication between
the client and server. The IPM web links from the CiscoWorks homepage are SSL-compliant.
