I am quoting from the LMS 3.2 Deployment Guide:
What’s New: Generic Device Support in RME
Day one device support for network management applications is a continuing challenge. As new hardware platforms
come to market, device support may be lagging. The CiscoWorks Incremental Device Update team announces
availability of a new "automated" update tool, providing device support for inventory and configuration functionality
within Resource Manager Essentials. This tool allows customers to quickly get support for new hardware platforms
where complete device package support through the Incremental Device Update program has not yet been
delivered. This new tool can be downloaded from
http://www.cisco.com/cgi-bin/tablebuild.pl/cw2000-rme and
installed on the LMS 3.01, 3.1, and 3.2 code base. The following features are enabled for devices using the
automated update tool:
Device Management in RME:
The Device Manageability Status Report provides details as to whether the device is officially supported or
managed using automatic IDU.
Inventory Management in RME:
◦
System-, port-, memory-, Flash-, and bridge-related information will be queried using Entity or the OCCM
MIB.
◦
Support for CDA will be provided.
●
Config Management in RME:
◦
Sync archive using CLI and TFTP protocols
◦
Ad-hoc template in NetConfig deployment
◦
Partial NetShow if MDF association is available
◦
Raw mode in version summary and version tree
◦
Partial out-of-sync summary and compare configuration
◦
Config Editor support for editing in raw mode only
An announcement regarding similar support capability in Campus Manager and Device Fault Manager will be sent
when it becomes available.
