Guidelines
and

Limitations
As
you

perform

a

Guided

Setup

task,

use

the

following

operating

conventions:

•
To
move
between
steps,

click

the

name
of
the

step
in
the

menu
to
the

left.

•
The
steps
for

each

task

are

listed

in

an

order
that

is

designed

to

prevent

problems

during

later
steps;
however,
you

can

skip

steps

if

you

know

they

are

not

applicable

to

your

application.

•
Depending
on

your

user
privileges,
ANM

may

prevent
you
from

making
changes
on

certain

steps.

•
You
must


save

and

deploy
any
changes

you

want

to
keep
before

leaving

each

page.

•
Each
task

can

be

run

as

many

times

as
you
like.
Using
Import

You
can

use

the

Import

series

routers,

CSS

devices,
CSM
devices,

or

GSS

devices

into

ANM.

You

must

import

the

hardware

devices

before

ANM

can
manage
them.
Before
You

Begin

•
Because
ANM

communicates

with

network

devices

through

Secure

Shell

(SSH)

and

other

protocols,
you
must

set

up

your

devices

to

allow

ANM

to

collect

data

from

them.

See

the

“Preparing

Devices
for
Import”

section

on

page

5-4 .

•
Before
ANM

can
import

a

device,

you

must

ensure

that

the

device

has

a

management

interface

that
ANM
can

access.

Also,

you

need

the

IP

address

and

credentials

for

the

device's

management
interface
in

order

to

import

it.

•
If
the

ACE

module

is

new

and

retains

its

factory

settings,

you

can

configure

basic

management
during
the

import

process

by

using

the

Bare

Blade

option.
