Define the following information to be configured on each of the network devices.
Define configuration information necessary for management.
Device name
Define the name of the managed device.
This name can contain up to 32 alphanumeric characters (upper or lower case), underscores ("_"), hyphens ("-"), and periods (".").
IP addresses used by managed network devices for management purposes
Choose an IP address to be used for communication with the admin server.
SNMP community name
Define the name of the SNMP community to be used when collecting MIB information using the monitoring function of the network device.
This user name can contain up to 32 alphanumeric characters (upper or lower case), underscores ("_"), and hyphens ("-").
Administrator information (user name and password)
Login User Name
Define the login user name to be used for login to the network device.
This user name can contain up to 32 alphanumeric characters (upper or lower case), underscores ("_"), and hyphens ("-").
Password
Define the password for the login user name to be used for direct login to the network device.
This user name can contain up to 32 alphanumeric characters (upper or lower case), underscores ("_"), and hyphens ("-").
Administrator Password
Define the login password for the administrator to be used for logging into the network device as an administrator.
This user name can contain up to 32 alphanumeric characters (upper or lower case), underscores ("_"), and hyphens ("-").
SNMP trap destination
This must be the admin IP address of the admin server.
Monitoring method (PING, SNMP)
Define the monitoring methods for the network devices (firewalls, L2 switches, and L3 switches).
Choose PING for monitoring active/inactive status, and choose SNMP for status monitoring.
It is possible to monitor using only one method or both methods.
Define settings necessary for pre-configuration.
Public LAN Pre-configuration Settings
Check the connection configuration of the LAN ports to be used for the public LAN to be connected with the center switches, and define the necessary settings accordingly.
Admin LAN Pre-configuration Settings
Check the connection configuration of the LAN ports to be used for the admin LAN to be connected with the L3 switches, and define the necessary settings accordingly.

Information
Character limitations vary depending on the network device used.
For specific settings of individual devices, define the settings according to the specifications of the network devices, within the limitations of types and number of characters described above.
The information necessary to be configured based on the public and admin LAN connection configurations also depends on the specifications of network devices.
For details on the specifications for each network device, refer to the manual for each device.
The sample scripts provided with Resource Orchestrator are not for defining all definitions of network devices. When using the sample scripts, define the information necessary for auto-configuration of network devices.
Regarding the configuration provided by the sample scripts, refer to "Table G.2 Units for which Sample Scripts are Provided".
Firewalls
In the sample scripts, only the network settings within the range of Resource Orchestrator management and firewall rules are auto-configured.
Define the following settings for firewalls:
Networks not managed by Resource Orchestrator (external interfaces etc.)
Basic information (system definitions, redundant devices, interfaces, communication routes, etc.)
Server Load Balancers
In the sample scripts, only load balancing rules and SSL accelerator settings are auto-configured.
Therefore, define the following settings for server load balancers:
Basic information (system definitions, redundant devices, interfaces, communication routes, etc.)
Register the server certificate, error web page response file, etc.
In case of the device which has needed configuration according to server certificate registration, configure security policy such as SSL connection protocol, cipher suite, etc.
L2 Switches
In the sample scripts, only the VLAN IDs specified for network resources are auto-configured.
Define the following settings for L2 switches:
The definition of the interface to perform VLAN definition for
The VLAN operation mode
Cascade ports, etc
