Device configuration guide
You can configure VLANs or other settings on devices in batch using the device configuration guide
feature directly from the Device List.
To configure for one or more devices from the Device List:
1.
Navigate to a Device List that contains the devices that you want to backup the configuration of.
For information on navigating to a Device List, see "
."
2.
Click the checkbox to the left of the devices you want to backup the configuration of from the
selected view's Device List.
3.
Click More.
4.
Select Device Configuration Guide from the list.
The Device Configuration Guide window appears. Select an operation and set the operation
parameters and task attributes. Then IMC deploys the configurations to the target devices
according to the task.

Terminal access
IMC lets you manage IP address resources in IMC. You can track, locate, allocate, and bind desktop IP
addresses to network access resources. While the primary focus of IP address management in IMC is the
desktop servers, printers and other devices can also be tracked using the IMC Terminal Access features.
The purpose of allocating and binding IP addresses in IMC is to enable IMC to track its intended use,
such as when an operator binds a terminal to some interfaces or an interface to some terminal and to
alarm when its use has changed. Allocating and binding IP addresses to network access devices is done
in IMC only, not on the device itself.
To support effective IP address management, IMC lets you add IP addresses to the IMC database and
centrally manage their allocation and binding. You can manually add IP addresses or they can be
added automatically using the IMC auto scan feature. In addition, you can define IP segments based on
departments or work areas.
IMC lets you manage the allocation of IP addresses for reporting and alarming purposes. When an
operator assigns an IP address to a device in IMC, it tracks that assignment and reports on any changes
to the assignment. This feature provides visibility into which IP addresses have been assigned, and when
unauthorized uses of IP addresses occur.
IMC also supports the ability to bind terminal resources for security purposes. You can bind an IP address
to a MAC address. In addition, you can bind a terminal to some interfaces. Binding IP addresses enables
IMC to track IP and MAC address usage to a specific resource and to proactively notify you when that
resource is not used in the way it was intended.
You can bind IP addresses to MAC addresses manually or they can use the auto-scanning feature. With
this feature, IMC identifies IP address and MAC address combination pairs, in which you then can
selectively apply binding.
With terminal access binding and switch access binding, you can link the MAC address of an end
device to an interface on an access device. This enables IMC to identify when a device has been moved
or when a new device is accessing the network through an interface not assigned to it.
