5 Resource management
The Resource tab provides you with a portal for the device monitoring and management features of IMC.
From this portal, you can view and manage network resources including devices and IP addresses.
IMC offers you a variety of options for viewing and managing devices through views that organize by
device type (Device View), IP address (IP View), topology (Network Topology) or the operator's own
organization of devices using Custom Views. Each of these views offers the ability to manage multiple
devices from the device lists on these pages. In addition, each view offers drill down capabilities to the
Device Details page, which includes a multitude of monitoring and management features for the selected
device.
From the Device Details page, you can synchronize, refresh, manage or unmanage, or delete a device.
From this view, devices can be accessed remotely through Telnet, SSH, the Device Panel, or Web
Manager. You can also ping or traceroute to a device from the Device Details page that is accessed from
all views.
In addition, you can configure devices. Configuration options include modifying a device label, system
group attributes, SSH and Telnet settings, polling intervals, ping and Web Manager parameters. You
can add or cancel performance monitoring for a selected device.
From IMC, you can also manage devices including resetting or rebooting a device remotely, saving
device configuration, or system information. You can configure address binding, view hardware, OSPF,
and IPv6 information and view and configure Power over Ethernet configuration on switches. In addition,
you can view protocol information for routers and switches, view and modify VLAN, RMON, and
Spanning tree information on switches and IGMP Snooping configuration on wireless devices.
You can also view and manage interfaces on devices from IMC. Interface management options include
managing and unmanaging interfaces, synchronizing, configuring management status and speed,
loopback testing and adding ports to and removing ports from VLANs.
IMC also offers you the ability to manage multiple devices from views and in batch mode. From views,
you can add, remove, delete, manage, unmanage, synchronize, and refresh devices. You can configure
SNMP, SSH, and Telnet settings as well as check these settings on multiple devices. You can also
configure polling intervals, save configurations, reboot devices, backup configurations, and deploy
software for multiple devices.
Using batch mode, you can configure SNMP, Telnet, and SSH settings, polling intervals and modify login
types. You can also check settings in batch mode for SNMP, Telnet, and SSH. You can save device
configurations, reboot devices, check and configure management status on interfaces, implement PoE,
configure trap destinations, spanning tree on switches and interfaces and configure LACP on switches.
You can also track the usage of and allocate IP addresses in IMC, bind IP addresses to MAC address,
and bind MAC addresses to interfaces. You can search IMC in real time and historically for locations of
IP addresses to pinpoint the location of a user/device. You can track network assets, and perform and
configure asset auditing.
