4.4.2 Switch Add and Removal
Discovery action will create the topology tree by all the discovered switches. The default password will be used in the discovery process. Sometimes you may have a switch with another password that is different from the default one. In this case, the switch cannot be discovered by the default password. You need to add a switch to the topology manually.
Figure 4.11 shows the window to add a switch. The are a couple of columns to fill to add a switch successfully.
Figure 4.11. Add Switch
1.Adapter: select the corresponding adapter to add a switch under it.
2.Switch: check the box if you want the new switch to be added under a specified switch in the topology tree. The manually added switch will be moved to a right place to show the relationships in the topology after a successful discovery.
3.MAC: the most important information is the MAC address. If the MAC is wrong, the new added switch can not be accessed by CNM.
4.Name: a good name may remind you something about the switch. However, the switch name is good only in the same CNM file. So the name may not be unique when you use different CNM files to do discover.
