Theapplianceroleisthencreated.Thisprocessmighttakesometime.
Post-Installation Steps
BeforeyoulogintotheADMconsole,clearthecacheofyourbrowsertopreventthepossibleappearanceof
incorrectinformationinthedisplays,applicationerrors,andothererrormessageswhenopeningtheADM.
Logging In to the ADM Console
Afteryoucompletetheapplianceinstallation,logintothesystembyusingthebrowserandperformthe
followingsteps:
1TypetheIPaddressofthemanagementapplianceintheaddressbarandclickGo.Theloginscreen
appears.
2TypeadminintheUsernamefieldanddefaultpassword123456inthePassword
field.
3ClickLogin.
Initiating Passive Discovery
OnlyonePassiveDiscoveryPolicyDefinitionpresentintheADM.ThefirsttimeyouuseADM,youmustset
upthepolicydefinitionandstartit.
To initiate Passive Discovery
1ClickManage,andthenselectthePassiveDiscoverymenu.
2 SelectthecomponentsonwhichADMperformsPassiveDiscoveryfromtheScopeComponentfield.
3Basedon
yourselection,typetheappropriateIPinformation:
 IPrange—UseNotationtotypeagroupofhostswithsimilarIPaddresses.Forexample,192.0.2.*
includesallhostswithIPsstartingwith192.0.2.Youcanalsosearchallhostsbytypinganasteriskin
eachfield.UseIPrangetoincludeagroupofhostswithinadefined
IPrange.
 IP—Addasinglespecifichosttothegrouptoincludeorexcludefromthescope.
 SubnetNetMask—ConfiguretheIPaddressscopebyprovidingthebasenetworkaddresswiththe
fulldotteddecimalnotationforthesubnetmask,
 SubnetSlashNotation—ConfiguretheIPaddressscopebyprovidingthebasenetworkaddresswith
theClasslessInter‐DomainRouting(CIDR)notationforthesubnetmask.
4ClickIncludetoincludethecomponentsinthediscoveryorExcludetoexcludethemfromit.
5RepeatStep 2throughStep 4foreachcomponentthatyou
areincludingorexcludingfromdiscovery.
6Optionally,usetherulesandruletemplatestofurtherdefinethescopecriteria:
 Y—InstructsADMtoincludethecomponentsinthePassiveDiscovery.
 N—Excludesthecomponentsfromdiscovery.
 I—Allowsyoutoignoretherule.
