Create Templates for Dell FX and MX Devices

Please create NCM templates for Dell PE FN 2210s FX2 and MX2 chassis.

Government services have a variety of different vendors with our switching infrastructure. It would be nice to be able to continue using NCM to monitor/manage our environment, but you have no templates to help in this area with Dell FX / MX devices.

This is existing functionality.

I’ve used NCM for quite some time to manage all realms of Dell Networking running all firmware (PowerConnect, Force10, Dell Networking OS9 which is FTOS and newer OS10). Yours is running OS9 (FTOS) I see...

The catch is you just need to build a custom device template — once you have that in place you can reuse it and use NCM just like any other device doing config backups and more.

Here’s documentation on building a device template. It’s very easy and only needs to be done once usually.
