Discover Dell EMC Network Switches by using
OMIMSSC
Prerequisites: Import the Dell EMC Network Switch Management Pack into the SCOM console from the OMIMSSC Admin
Portal.
You can discover the switches by using an IP address or an IP range. To discover switches, provide the switch IP address and
the device credential profile of the switch. When you are discovering switches by using an IP range, specify an IP (IPv4) range
(within a subnet) by including the start and end IP address in the range.
To discover a network switch by using OMIMSSC:
1. In the left pane of the SCOM console, select Monitoring.
2. Expand Dell EMC > Dell EMC OpenManage Integration Views, and then select Dell EMC OpenManage Integration
Dashboard.
The OMIMSSC login page is displayed in the working pane.
3. Enter credentials to log in to OMIMSSC. Enter the username in the format: domain\username.
4. In the left pane, select Monitoring > Network Switch View, and then click Discover.
5. In the Discover dialog box:
● To discover multiple network switches by using a range of IP addresses, on the Discovery using an IP Range or IP
Address Range:
a. Enter the IP address range.
b. To exclude IP addresses from getting discovered, select the Enable Exclude Range check box and enter the IP
address range to exclude.
● To discover a network switch by using its IP address:
a. In the Network Switch IP Address box, enter an IP address of the network switch to discover.
6. From the Apply this Credential Profile drop-down menu, select the device credential profile that must be used for
discovering the device. To create a device credential profile, click Create New. See Create a device credential profile in
OMIMSSC on page 34.
7. To view the status of this job, select the Go to the Job list check box.
8. Enter a job name for this discovery task.
9. Click Finish.
A discovery job is created and started, and the discovered network switches are listed on the Network Switch View page.
Discover Dell EMC Network Switches by using SCOM
Prerequisites: Import the Dell EMC Network Switch Management Pack into the SCOM console from the OMIMSSC Admin
Portal.
The Dell EMC Network Switches can be discovered as network devices in the SCOM console.
To discover network switches by using SCOM:
1. In the left pane of the SCOM console, click Administration.
2. In the left pane, click Discovery Wizard.
3. Select Network devices, and then complete the tasks that are prompted by the Computer and Device Management
Wizard. For more information, see the Microsoft Operations Manager documentation.
4. Select the necessary Run As Account from the SNMP V1 or V2 Run As Account drop-down menu.
