Configuring Discovery and Inventory Settings 69
Viewing the Default Connection Profile
To view the default connection profile:
1 Click Setting  All Settings .
2 On the left pane, select the Settings folder  Monitoring and Alerting 
Protocol Management  Connection Profiles  Manage Connection
Profiles
.
Edit the default connection profile to add or remove protocols.
NOTE: Even though the default connection profile already exists, you must still
configure the appropriate credentials for each protocol.
Editing the Default Connection Profile
You can edit the Default Connection Profile or add a new connection profile
by clicking Add Settings:
1 On the Manage Connection Profile page, select Default Connection
Profile
and click edit (the pencil icon.)
The Define Group Settings page displays the protocols that are
pre-configured in the default profile.
2 On the Define Group Settings page, select On to enable IPMI.
3 Click the up arrow to add the IPMI credentials of the managed device or a
group of devices.
NOTE: You must enter the KGkey of the managed device for IPMI to work
correctly. Enter the KGkey in the IPMI Credential Profile of the device. For
more information, see
"Managing Credentials" on page 68.
4 Disable other protocols like the HTTP, ICMP, and SNMP Trap Sender if
the network devices do not use these protocols.
It is highly recommended to disable the protocols that are not required
for
network discovery, since higher number of protocols will decrease the
speed at which devices are discovered.
5 Click OK .
