Selecting Devices and Configurations
How to Select Devices of Different Types
In ECM, you can load configurations in one procedure to one or more devices
of the same type in the selected landscape(s). This means:
• To chose a different type of device from the one selected in SPECTRUM,
you must exit ECM, select a device of the type you want in SPECTRUM,
and return to ECM. For example:
1. In ECM, you might have loaded configurations to a set of Cisco
routers: say Cisco70, Cisco71, and Cisco72. The router type might be
called Rtr_CiscoIGS.
In this case, the only type of configurations that ECM will display in
the selected landscapes in either the device specific or shared
configurations windows are those for Cisco routers of type
Rtr_CiscoIGS.
2. To next load some configurations to one or more hubs in the same
landscapes, you must exit ECM, select one of those hubs in
SPECTRUM, and then re-enter ECM.
Further, if you are configuring hubs of one type, say Cabletron EMME
hubs (labeled type Hub_CSIEMME), and then want to configure hubs
of another type, (either from Cabletron or elsewhere), you also have to
exit ECM and in SPECTRUM select a hub of the type you want to
configure.
• To chose a subcomponent type of the device selected in SPECTRUM, click
on the Navigate Components option from the Options menu in the ECM
Main window. For example, if you have selected a hub, from the Navigate
Components option, you can go to and configure the boards in the hub
without having to exit ECM.
Two Ways to Specify Configurations
Once you have created a configuration either with or without a template, you
can load that configuration from the ECM Main window in one of the following
two ways, depending on its type:
• As device specific (see Loading Device Specific Configurations, on
Page 5-15).
• As shared (see Loading Shared Configurations, starting on page 5-23).
If you have a device specific configuration that you want to load to more than
one device, you must make it a shared configuration before you can load it (see
