Unimus supports 2 main ways to bulk-add/import devices.

1) One-time import
2) NMS sync

As the name implies, "one-time import" is one-time, based on user interaction.

NMS sync can be scheduled, and Unimus will automatically import devices from NMS synch connectors per configuration.
(you can also do NMS sync only once, without configuring it to be scheduled)

One-time import

You have 2 options for one-time import:

1) Import a list of addresses

This is the fastest way to add devices to Unimus in bulk.
You can simply paste a comma or semicolon separated list od devices, and Unimus will add each of them as a new device.

For example:

10.0.0.1, 10.0.0.2; 10.2.0.1; host.domain.tld, 7001:11::44:1

All valid address formats are supported - IPv4, IPv6 and FQDNs

2) Import devices from a .csv file

If you want to import devices together with descriptions, you can use a .csv file import.

Here, you provide a .csv file to Unimus, that should contain one device per line.
Both "\r" and "\r\n" (LF and CRLF) line terminations are supported.

You can optionally choose to ignore the 1st line of the .csv file - which is usually a header.

Example of the .csv file:

# Device, description
10.0.0.1, Edge router
10.0.0.2, VPN router
7001:11::44:1, Switch

In the above example, we would check the "Ignore .csv file header (1st line of file)" checkbox.

All valid address formats are supported - IPv4, IPv6 and FQDNs

NMS sync

Unimus supports syncing devices with multiple NMS systems.

This approach allows you to automate your device addition process.
After configuring NMS sync, you only need to add devices into your NMS, and Unimus will pick them up automatically.

NMS sync can be scheduled - you simply need to select an existing (or use the default) schedule.
With this configuration, Unimus will sync against the NMS periodically.
