Modeling
This section describes how to manually model a 6C105 chassis and a SmartSwitch 6000 module installed in the chassis and place the resulting device icons in their proper SPECTRUM views.
Introduction
The following topics are covered in this section:
•AutoDiscovery vs. Manual Modeling (page 61)
•Manual Modeling Overview (page 62)
•Preparation for Modeling (page 63)
•Modeling Using the Chassis IP (page 63)
•Positioning the Chassis Device Icon (page 66)
AutoDiscovery vs. Manual Modeling
SPECTRUM’s AutoDiscovery is recommended if you are modeling a network for the first time or want to discover and model a network segment after making changes to it.
AutoDiscovery is not recommended for use when the SmartSwitch 6000 is in Mixed Management mode, see Management Modes (page 9).
Autodiscovery involves manually modeling a seed router, bridge, or switch (if such a model does exist) and then running AutoDiscovery one or more times to complete the network model. You then refine your autodiscovered network model to improve management capabilities.
Refer to Getting Started with
SPECTRUM for Administrators and
Note:t : How to Manage Your Network with SPECTRUM for instructions on using
AutoDiscovery and refining your network model.
The manual modeling procedures described in this section should be used when making minor changes to the network. This includes such actions as placing an already discovered module in Mixed Management mode or adding a new chassis or module to the network.
