	Field		Description

	NE additions)		decimal octet expressed as an integer between 0 and 255. The first octet cannot be a zero.
			Note Prior to the NE ID discovery, CTM uses the NE IP address as a temporary NE ID.
			Note The IP address field is unavailable when adding passive NEs and Not Managed/Other
			Vendor NEs.

	NE Properties Panel
	NE ID		Enter a unique name for the NE in the form of an ASCII text string. Apostrophes (’) and quotation
	(Read-only for bulk NE		marks (“) are not accepted. The NE ID you enter should be the same as the NE ID that is configured
			on the NE itself. If it is not the same, this field will be updated with the NE hostname.
	addition)
			Note Do not use “CTM” as an NE ID because the Alarm Browser might contain CTM alarms with
			the source ID “CTM.” It will be difficult to distinguish between NE alarms and CTM alarms
			if they both have the same source ID (“CTM”). For the same reason, do not cause CTM to
			automatically populate an NE whose NE ID is “CTM.”
			Note If the NE ID field is blank, it will default to the IP address. After communication is
			established, CTM autodiscovers the NE ID from the NE.
			Note For the CRS-1 and XR 12000, do not use special characters in the NE ID. Special characters
			should not be used in the router name, DNS/NIS, or /etc/hosts file.
	Operational State		Specify the operational state of the NE. There are four states:
			• Preprovisioned—The NE has been added to the database for provisioning but is not yet in
			service.
			• Under Maintenance—The NE is temporarily under maintenance but requires monitoring.
			• In Service—The NE is currently deployed and requires monitoring.
			• Out of Service—The NE has been marked Out of Service and does not require monitoring.
	SNMP Community		Enter the SNMP community string for the NE. The Cisco default is public.
	String		Note The SNMP community string applies only to the Catalyst 6509, ONS 15216 EDFA2,
			ONS 15216 EDFA3, ONS 15302, ONS 15305, ONS 15310, ONS 15327,
			ONS 15454 SONET, ONS 15454 SDH, and Cisco MGX NEs.
			Note When adding an ONS 155xx NE, this field is unavailable. You must enter the community
			strings in the SNMP Community String table before adding the NE.
	SNMP Set Only		Enter the set-only community string name used in SNMP messages. You must provide the
	Community String		community string name to give the user SNMP read access to the device.
	NE Service Level		Enter the username that the CTM server uses to connect to NEs.
