This section explains how to register network devices.
When registering individual network devices
Use the rcxadm netdevice create command.
When batch registering multiple network devices
Use the rcxadm netconfig import command.
See
For details on the rcxadm netdevice command, refer to "3.8 rcxadm netdevice" in the "Reference Guide (Command/XML) CE".
For details on the rcxadm netconfig command, refer to "3.7 rcxadm netconfig" in the "Reference Guide (Command/XML) CE".
Note
When registering network devices, if multiple network devices are registered with the same resource name, the following problems will occur. Make sure to use a name that is unique on the system when registering a network device.
Network devices cannot be identified by name in the resource list.
Modification of a network device using the rcxadm netdevice modify command is not possible because the target network device cannot be identified.
Change the name of the network device to modify the settings of, referring to "7.4 Changing LAN Switch Settings" and then modify the settings using the rcxadm netdevice modify command.
Deletion of a network device using the rcxadm netdevice delete command is not possible because the target network device cannot be identified.
Refer to "9.4.2 Deleting LAN Switches and Network Devices" to delete the target network device.
The intended network device may not be automatically configured.
Disaster Recovery may fail.
Under redundancy configuration, it is only enabled for the same vendor and model. For this reason, registration should be made specifying the same group ID as the network device that has been already registered for redundancy configuration. During the registration confirmation process, if the network device has a different vendor name and device name from the registered one, registration as a network device will fail.
