Synchronizing Between NetMRI and NIOS Appliances
- Panna .
Prerequisite: make sure that you added and configured an IPAM synchronization as described in the previous section.
To run a synchronization between NetMRI and a NIOS appliance, complete the following:
- In Settings > Setup > NIOS IPAM Sync, select Sync in the Actions column for the required sync configuration.
- Click Yes to confirm.
The CSV import of discovered data to NIOS is performed. The IPv4 and IPv6 networks are added to the NIOS appliance database.
Open the NIOS GUI and verify that all the data are imported into NIOS.
The following table lists the data fields in the CSV file used for IPAM Sync:
