9 This discovery profile was created with placeholders for the authentication credentials, as
seen in the “Select Authentication” list. You will need to remove these entries from the list
and create new entries that match the authentication credentials that the device is configured
with.
10 Save the discovery profile.
11 You will now need to enable the event processing rule that will execute this discovery profile
so that it will be triggered when a trap is received from an unknown device.
12 Expand the Alarms menu item and click on Definitions and Rules.
13 Within the Event Processing Rules portlet, find the entry named “Execute Auto-Discovery
when a trap is received from an unmanaged device”.
14 Right-click and Edit this entry.
15 Everything within this event processing rule should already be configured properly so that the
only thing you need to do would be to check the Enabled box and the click Save.
16 Once the event processing rule is enabled it will be triggered any time a trap (or syslog) is
received from an unmanaged device. If auto-discovery is used in conjunction with zero-touch
provisioning, and if all the pieces are configured properly, then OpenManage Network
Manager will automatically discover a device shortly after it has been provisioned by the
DHCP server.
The Managed Resources portlet displays all discovered devices.
