Import Devices

After you import devices, a one-time discovery job starts immediately. All of the WLSE-supported devices in the file or found on the CiscoWorks server are used as seed devices with a CDP distance of 1. After importing devices, ensure that they are managed.

Note If CDP is not enabled and you import devices, only the imported access points and wireless bridges will be discovered. Routers and switches will not be discovered.

Import Devices from a File

Devices can be imported from a comma-separated values (CSV) file. You can create the file by exporting devices from CiscoWorks Resource Manager Essentials or by creating a file with a text editor. After you import the file, a one-time discovery begins immediately.

See the online help for more detailed information on importing devices from a file.

Step 1 Select Devices > Discover > Discover > Discovery Wizard.

Step 2 Select Import From File and click Next.

Step 3 Enter the pathname of the file or click Browse to find it. If you do not have a file, click See sample CSV file for the correct format.

Step 4 Only the hostnames, IP addresses, and read and write community strings are imported automatically.
