Are Ciena devices supported natively in NCM?

Quick searches on SolarWinds.com and here haven't really given a solid answer, so I thought I would enlist the help of the Brain Trust emoticons_happy.png

We have a good amount of Ciena devices that are currently being handled by Ciena OMEA. Is it possible to *EASILY* transition the management of these devices in NCM? We do not have NCM currently, but it could end up on the budget if this is an option.

I have seen a few device templates on Thwack, but I cannot find a document or post that gives a definitive answer on native support.

Does anyone have any feedback, experience with this?

  • It works fine but you have to create Custom Device Templates. I was able to download one from thwack that a contributor did for a 5150 and modify it.  We have close to 100 Ciena devices being managed with NCM right now.
