5.Add Switch: add a switch to the topology tree manually. A window will show for this purpose as shown below. Select the network adapter you want the switch to attach to, give the switch MAC and name, and an authentication key as the password if you don’t use the default one (2379), then click OK to finish the action. However, a manually added switch does not mean it can be configured or discovered by CNM. The function provides a way to add a known switch to topology list once the CNM cannot discover the switch. There is a tool bar button for it..
