Network Configuration Manager (NCM) Self Certification

Products

• Network Observability
• Spectrum

Issue/Introduction

Need to add new devices to the Network configuration Manager (NCM) in Spectrum.
The devices do not appear under any of the default Device Families.

Environment

Spectrum, all supported versions

Resolution

If the devices support ssh, preferred method is NCM SSH self-certification 

Additional Information

Note:

The existing Perl script mode of configuration is also supported for enabling NCM support for custom devices. Using the SSH-based Perl scripts mode of configuration takes precedence over the SSH commands configuration. For more information about Perl Scripts functionality in NCM, see Using SSH-based Perl Scripts for Network Configuration Manager Operations

As noted, if the devices support SSH, SSH self certification is preferred.
