New Features in IPM 2.6
These are the new features in IPM 2.6:
Support for importing device from Device and Credential Repository — IPM 2.6 provides you the
facility to import devices from the Device and Credential Repository. You can import devices as
Sources, as Target SAA Responders, or as Target IP Devices.
Differentiated Service Code Point (DSCP) support — In IPM 2.6 users are provided with the feature
of selecting either the IP Precedence settings or DSCP setting.
Source interface on collector — In the earlier IPM releases, users could not specify a source
interface configuration on an individual collector basis while configuring a collector. IPM 2.6 has
features to overcome this limitation.
Device Center Integration — In IPM 2.6, the Device Center will be launched for devices in IPM.
The Device Center will be launched irrespective of whether a device is present in Device and
Credential Repository or not.
Improved Scalability— IPM 2.6 supports 2000 collectors in one single IPM Server.
SSL Compliance — IPM 2.6 is SSL compliant and enables secure HTTP communication between
the client and server. The IPM web links from the CiscoWorks homepage are SSL-compliant.
