Adding Multiple Devices from a CSV File
You can add devices in bulk from a CSV file to AMP. Here you also have the option of specifying vendor name
only, and AMP will automatically determine the correct type while bringing up the device. If your CSV file
includes make and model information, AMP will add the information provided in the CSV file as it did before. It
will not override what you have specified in this file in any way.
The CSV list must contain the following columns:
 IP Address
 SNMP Community String
 Name
 Type
 Auth Password
 SNMPv3 Auth Protocol
