Creating STM rules
The following procedure instructs you how to create a new
SNMP
rule through
System Type Manager
(STM).
The STM is a utility used to modify the default behavior of
identification
. STM enables you to customize the
type and product name of
systems
using rules based on responses to
Simple Network Management Protocol
(SNMP) and
Desktop Management Interface
(DMI) (Windows only) collections from systems on your network.
NOTE: DMI rules can only be created from the command line interface.
NOTE: The following fields are required to create an STM rule:
• System Object Identifier, including the Compare Rule
• System Type
• Product Name
To create a new SNMP rule:
1. Select Options→Manage System Types. The Manage System Types page appears.
2. Click New. The New rule section appears.
3. Enter the System object identifier information. Retrieve the system object identifier from a target system
on your network by clicking Retrieve from system. The Retrieve from system section appears. The
System object identifier field is required.
