Identifying the Devices Using a Specific Telnet/SSH Credential

How can a NetBrain Administrator identify what devices are using a configured Telnet/SSH login credential within the NetBrain platform?

This article will describe the process to create an Inventory Report from a custom NetBrain Device Group.  This Device Group will contain all of the devices that are using a configured Telnet/SSH login credential.

Solution

1. Login to the NetBrain End User Interface with an account that has Domain Administrator privileges.
2. From the main user interface desktop, navigate to the Quick Access Toolbar, click on the Domain Name.
3. In the Domain Selection dialog, click "Manage Domain".
4. In the Domain Management interface, click "Operations", then "Discover Settings", then "Network Settings".
5. In the Network Settings interface, click the "Telnet/SSH Login" tab to display the configured credentials.
6. Right-click on one of the configured credentials, then click "Add to Device Group"
