Using Multiple Templates
The import node list utility supports the use of multiple templates, where
different entries in the file may each use different protocol settings and
require different templates. The following import file provides an example for
using multiple templates:
<begin_file>
#This is a comment (a "#" sign at the beginning of the
line means to ignore #the line).
23.45.65.34,template1
23.45.65.35,template1
hostname1
hostname2,template2
23.34.55.*,template2
12.34.56.20-30
<end_file>
In this example, the first two entries use a template named template1, while
entries four and five use a template named template2. The rest of the entries
use the default template. In this example, you must enter the discovery
configuration ranges (from the IT Assistant user interface) of
"default_template", "template1", and "template2" and configure their
protocol settings appropriately (perhaps they have different SNMP
community names).
NOTE: Any name may be used for a template name, even an IP address or subnet
range. However, it is recommended that you use names that allow for easy
identification as templates.
