Configuring Discovery and Inventory Settings 45
Edit the default connection profile to add or remove protocols.
NOTE: Even though the default connection profile already exists, you must still
configure the appropriate credentials for each protocol.
Editing the Default Connection Profile
You can edit the Default Connection Profile or add a new connection profile
by clicking Add Settings:
1
On the Manage Connection Profile page, select Default Connection
Profile
and click edit (the pencil icon.)
The
Define Group Settings page displays the protocols that are
pre-configured in the default profile.
2 On the Define Group Settings page, select On to enable IPMI.
3 Click the up arrow to add the IPMI credentials of the managed device or a
group of devices.
NOTE: You must enter the KGkey of the managed device for IPMI to work
correctly. Enter the KGkey in the IPMI Credential Profile of the device. For
more information, see “Managing Credentials.”
4 Disable other protocols like the HTTP, ICMP, and SNMP Trap Sender if
the network devices do not use these protocols.
It is highly recommended to disable the protocols that are not required
for network discovery, since higher number of protocols will decrease the
speed at which devices are discovered.
5 Click OK .
Creating a New Connection Profile
If you add Dell|EMC devices to the network, you cannot use the default
connection profile because this connection profile does not have the required
systems management protocols enabled. You must create a new connection
profile with EMC and SNMP enabled. (see Table 5-1 for connection profiles
required for various devices.)
