The Device Driver Toolkit is a wizard-based tool that allows you to create a device driver through a series of steps. This tool is embedded as part of the Network Configuration Manager (NCM) application.

Note:

The capability of the Device Driver Toolkit is dependent on the capabilities of the device.

The device driver created by Device Driver Toolkit can perform the following tasks:

  • Discover devices using SNMP and/or terminal

  • Pull model, operating system version and serial number using SNMP or terminal

  • Pull interfaces, routes, arp, and entity-mib hardware using SNMP

  • Pull text-based running and startup configurations using terminal, TFTP, FTP, and SCP

  • Handle SNMP traps and syslog messages

  • Send termlets to the device

  • Send six basic quick commands to the device

  • Open cut-through sessions to the device

  • Change and Add new credentials (Accounts and SNMP Community Strings)

  • Push text-based running and startup configurations using terminal, TFTP, FTP and SCP
