The administrative account is used by the NetMRI administrator to create user accounts and configure NetMRI. This account user name and password are also required to access the administrative shell (a command-line interface). Other NetMRI users do not have the special privileges available to the administrator.
The administrative account user name is “admin” and cannot be changed. Since this user name is easy to guess, it is essential to assign a strong password to prevent unauthorized users from impersonating the administrator.
Setup Wizard: License- Browse to the location of the NetMRI license file, and then select the license file. The license file ends with the .gpg extension.
- Click Next>.
A license is required to use NetMRI for production or evaluation purposes. Each license is keyed to a specific NetMRI serial number and specifies the maximum number of devices and interfaces that NetMRI can monitor, as well as which modules are enabled.
If you have not received a license file or you have misplaced it, you can obtain a license file at http://netmri-license.infoblox.com. When you receive the file, save it in a location you can access from the Setup Wizard.
Setup Wizard: Welcome- Enable or disable auto discovery.
- Click Next>.
Enabling automatic discovery means NetMRI will attempt to discover devices on the network using its own discovery methods. There is less configuration required when implementing automatic discovery, but it may take longer to completely discover all the devices you are expecting to be managed.
Disabling automatic discovery means NetMRI will only manage the devices manually input during configuration. Devices known to exist, but not explicitly configured, are not included in any reports or topology data. Configuring NetMRI with discovery disabled may take longer depending on the number of devices on the network.

IPv6 network discovery supports the use of CIDR ranges. |
...
Ranges included for discovery indicate that any device found matching that range will be discovered and managed by NetMRI. Ranges excluded for discovery indicate that any device found matching that range will be excluded from discovery by NetMRI. Ranges marked “Exclude from management” indicate that any device found matching that range will be discovered by NetMRI, however, NetMRI will not manage the device (for example, collect data from the device).
Setup Wizard: Static IPs- Enter IP addresses you want NetMRI to manage.
