How to Manually Add Network Devices with SSH or Telnet Support to NodeGrid via WebUI

Select Managed Devices :: Devices, click the Add button to add a device in the system. For the purpose of this example, provide the following information:

 

  • On the Name field, enter the name of the device you want to add (for example a critical Red Hat Linux server, a network PDU or a router). This device must be compatible with the pre-defined prompt configuration under Managed Devices :: Types for type device_console. Otherwise, just create your own version of the device type and use it here (select device_console, Clone, give it a name, edit it and make necessary changes for the compatible device).
  • Enter the IP address of the server. Make sure the IP address is reachable by the NodeGrid Manager.
  • On the Type field, select device_console.
  • Enter username and password of the admin user account of the device, or select Ask During Login option if you want to provide the admin credentials during the login time, and then click the Save

 

The device should now appear under Access page and it should be ready for access.

 

Further configuration on Managed Devices :: Devices is available in order to enable tunnel, monitoring, scripts, data logging, event logging, alerting and custom fields for this type of device.
