Chapter 3 Adding and Troubleshooting Devices Using Device Management
Using the RME Devices Window
For Inventory collection to happen, you must ensure that you have entered the correct read community
string in Device and Credential Repository. RME acquires inventory data from devices using SNMP
queries to both standard SNMP MIB II objects and Cisco-specific enterprise MIB objects.
For Configuration collection to happen, you should have entered the correct read and write community
strings and telnet credentials in Device and Credential Repository.
See Supported Device Table for RME 4.0 on Cisco.com to know the list of devices that are supported in
RME:

Licensing Behavior While Adding Devices
If the number of devices that you added in Device and Credential Repository exceeds the licensed device
limit, RME selects the option that results in fewer devices. The options are:
• The number of devices permitted by the license and an additional 10% of the licensed device limit
are added.
Or
• The number of devices permitted by the license and an additional 100 devices are added
For example, if you have a license for 5000 devices, you are allowed to manage only up to 5100 devices.
This is because 10% of 5000 devices is 500 devices, which is more than 100 devices.
Licensing Behavior While Adding Devices Automatically
If you have enabled the Automatically Manage Devices from Credential Repository option and reached
the maximum device limit, when you continue to add devices to Device and Credential, the option that
results in fewer devices is selected and added to RME.
For example, if you have a license for 300 devices and you attempt to add 40 more devices, only 330
devices are added. The remaining 10 devices continue to be in Device and Credential Repository.
Licensing Behavior While Adding Devices Manually
If you have disabled the Automatically Manage Devices from Credential Repository option, reached the
maximum device limit, and selected a large number devices for adding into RME, none of devices are
added.
For example, if you have a license for 300 devices and attempt to add 40 more devices, none of these
devices are added to RME.
Adding Devices to RME Manually
You can use this option to selectively add devices to RME from Device and Credential Repository or
when you have deleted devices in RME and you want to readd those devices to RME.
Note View Permission Report (Common Services > Server > Reports) to check if you have the required
privileges to perform this task.
