A network administrator plans to use HP Intelligent Management Center (IMC) to manage a
network with thousands of HP switches. The administrator wants to use IMC for functions such as
configuring ACLs and VLANs on multiple switches at once.
What must the administrator verify when configuring IMC to discover the switches?

A.
that IMC is configured with the proper Telnet login username and password for the switches
Telnet Username: Enter the username configured on managed devices in the Telnet
Username field, if prompted.

B.
that IMC is configured with the proper SNMP community or user credentials for read-write
access to the switches
Telnet Password: Enter the password configured on the managed devices in the Telnet
Password field, if prompted.

C.
that IMC is configured with the proper SNMP trap credentials for communicating with the
switches
Telnet Super Password: Enter the super password configured on the managed devices for
the Telnet Super Password, if prompted.

D.
that IMC is configured with the proper SSH login username and password for the switches

A.
that IMC is configured with the proper Telnet login username and password for the switches
Telnet Username: Enter the username configured on managed devices in the Telnet
Username field, if prompted.

B.
that IMC is configured with the proper SNMP community or user credentials for read-write
access to the switches
Telnet Password: Enter the password configured on the managed devices in the Telnet
Password field, if prompted.

C.
that IMC is configured with the proper SNMP trap credentials for communicating with the
switches
Telnet Super Password: Enter the super password configured on the managed devices for
the Telnet Super Password, if prompted.

Explanation:
Auto discovering in IMC allows you to search the network and add all found devices
to IMC using two methods: basic and advanced. With the basic auto discovery method, you
provide a start and end IP address that directs the discovery process. In addition, you provide
SNMP and Telnet settings that support the addition of devices for these protocols. You have the
option to run basic and advanced discoveries immediately or at a scheduled date and time.
Note 1: On IMC auto discovery:
Enter the SNMP v1 read community string in the SNMP Read Community string field.
11. Enter the SNMP v1 write community string in the SNMP Write Community string field.
The SNMP read and write community string configuration you enter here must match the SNMP
configuration settings on the devices to be discovered and managed. Refer to each vendor’s
manual for information on setting the SNMP configuration parameters for each device type.
In the basic auto discovery mode, only SNMP v1 is supported.
Note 2: On IMC auto discovery continued:
Select the Telnet authentication mode that corresponds with the Telnet authentication mode
configured on the managed devices from the Telnet Authentication Mode list.
