Chapter 3 Managing the Device Inventory
Adding Devices to the Device Inventory
Service Module Credentials Dialog Box
Use the Service Module Credentials dialog box to add the credentials required to log into supported
service modules in a Catalyst device.
The dialog box includes a group for each slot that contains a supported module, and the type of module
is indicated. For example, a group might be called Slot 3 (IDSM) Credentials, which indicates that there
is an IDSM in the third slot of the chassis.
Note Although Security Manager discovers VPN modules, the discovery is done through the chassis and no
credentials are required. ASA service modules (ASA-SM) cannot be discovered through the chassis; you
must add them individually.
Navigation Path
After you discover policies on a Catalyst chassis that can contain service modules, you are asked if you
want to discover its service modules. If you click Yes, this dialog box appears. You can perform policy
discovery using any of these methods:
• When adding a device from the network. See Adding Devices from the Network, page 3-11.
• When adding devices from an export file. See Adding Devices from an Inventory File, page 3-29.
• When performing policy discovery on a device that is already in the inventory. See Discovering
Policies on Devices Already in Security Manager, page 5-15.
