1. General TAB - This is generic information about the device and is the information imported from NMIS / OpenAudit.   Only the host entry needs to be correct here, and it must be a usable FQDN or IP address.
2. Connection TAB -  To connect to a node, opConfig needs to know some information about it
   1.  Personality this is the CLI Parsing to use to enable the issuing of commands e.g. line endings, prompts etc.  The Personality includes information about the prompts, line-ending conventions etc. a node is subject to; for example, the 'ios' personality handles understanding the > prompt and  "enable" command and "bash" understands shell prompts.  The personalities supported are available in the drop down.
   2.  CredentialSet - NOT automatic and needs to be set - authentication and authorization in the form of the access credential set created earlier.
   3. Transport (Telnet or SSH) - NOT automatic and needs to be set
3. OS info TAB -  Once connected to a node we need to know the OS and maybe version, subversion, platform in use to select the right commands to issue and how to parse the command results.  This where COMMAND SETS ("command_sets.nmis" file) that opConfig uses, makes association between the OS and maybe a  version and maybe a major release or train and the command to issue and how to parse it. 
   1. These fields should be automatically populated if your device was discovered by NMIS or OpenAudit if they are Cisco IOS or Linux devices

   2. The OS field and potentially the version and other fields must match the 'os' => and any 'version' =>

      fields

         fields in

      the command

      the command_sets.nmis file

      .  

      .

   3. See the command sets section later and have a look in the file if you want to know what os and version fields will work.  If the import did not get resulrs you can try the following: for Cisco IOS typically if you put OS as "IOS" and version as "12.2" you will get results and Linux OSs use just OS as "Linux"

Once you have added the device you will either need to wait for the polling cycles to complete per your cron Schedule or use command line tools below to determine results.

Import (and discovery) from the Command Line

opConfig CLI tools are found in in /usr/local/omk/bin

opconfig-cli.pl can import nodes from NMIS, and offers a credential set and transport discovery option. Simply run opconfig-cli.pl without options to see a brief usage help.
