Adding devices to inventory via script or tool.

Recently my shop's CW2K server crashed. I'm trying to rebuild the inventory database. However, we have several hundred devices on the network. Is there any way to dynamically reaquire all the device information via snmp, script or tool?

If you are adding the devices into RME, your best bet is to add one device manually:

RME -> Admin -> Inventory -> Add Device

Once that is done, go ahead and export to file:

RME -> Admin -> Inventory -> Export to file

Select Comma Separated Value, Version 1

Once that is complete, you may edit the file using Notepad and add all your devices manually into the file while maintaining the format

(the number of commas is critical).

Once the file is complete, you may imprt it by going to: RME -> Inventory -> Import from file

If you are running CDP on the devices and would like to populate the Campus Manager database, then you may go to:

Server Config -> Setup -> ANI Server Admin

Click on SNMP Settings

Enter the appropriate information and save

Click on Discovery Settings and Enter the appropriate information and save

Run the discovery

Once the discovery is complete, you may send the devices that are discovered to RME by going to:

Server Config -> Setup -> ANI Server Admin

and click on Device Synchronization

A good reference to keep handy is the LMS Deployment guide:
