Networks are a mix of heterogeneous and geographically dispersed systems. Tracking of hardware and

software assets in such an environment is very critical. Inventory details and Device Management are

basic requirements for all network management applications.

From this tab you can launch these RME applications:

• Inventory

• Device Management

• Group Administration

Inventory, or the Inventory Collection Service (ICS) and Poller software component of RME, collects

inventory data from the network devices and keeps the inventory updated.

If any changes are detected in hardware or software components, the inventory database will be updated

and a change audit record will be created to inform the network manager of the change, and to document
