There are two methods of importing devices into your Resource Manager network inventory:
For ease of use, Cisco strongly recommends the CSV format. Samples of each type of file are in this appendix. The information in each file type must be presented in the order shown.
You can create a CSV file to import devices. After you create the CSV file, you can import it using the File Import task.
The CSV format provides the following device information:
Following is a sample CSV-formatted file.

You can create a DIF to import devices. After you create the DIF, you can import it using the File Import task.
The DIF is currently encoded in the ISO Latin-1 character set using an extended BNF notation described in the Resource Manager online help. The DIF specifies the following characteristics of each device:
Following is a sample DIF, incorporating these characteristics. The sample file was imported from CiscoWorks.
First, the DIF is defined.
cisco Systems NM data import, source=CW; Version = 1.0;
The device table is defined.
Table name = Device basic inventory; Version = 1.0; Column count = 7; Separator = |;
Columns for the device table are defined.
Col# = 1; Name = Row#; Col# = 2; Name = Device name; Col# = 3; Name = Domain; Col# = 4; Name = RO community string; Col# = 5; Name = RW community string; Col# = 6; Name = Telnet password; Col# = 7; Name = Enable password;
Rows of data for the device table are defined.

An administrative domain table is defined.
Table name = Device grouping; Version = 1.0; Column count = 4; Separator = $
Columns for the domains table are defined.
Col# = 1; Name = Row# Col# = 2; Name = Group Col# = 3; Name = Device name Col# = 4; Name = Domain
Rows of data for the domain table are defined.

The user annotation table is defined.
Table name = Device annotations; Version = 1.0; Column count = 7; Separator = $
Columns for the annotation table are defined.
