12.2 Preparations

The following preparations are required to add display content into the Network Map.

  1. Register LAN switches (switch blades included in a chassis or external switches)

    Refer to "6.1.3 Registering LAN Switches" in the "ServerView Resource Coordinator VE Setup Guide".
    The following LAN switches are supported by the Network Map.

    • BX600 GbE Switch Blade 30/12

    • PY CB Eth Switch/IBP 1Gb 36/12

    • Cisco Catalyst 2950 series

    • Cisco Catalyst 2960 series

    • Cisco Catalyst 3560 series

    • Cisco Catalyst 3750 series

  2. Detect physical network links

    1. From the RC console's menu, select [Tools]-[Topology]-[Detect physical links].

    2. Click the <OK> button in the [Detect Physical Links] dialog.

Note

  • If no switch blade is registered yet, only network links between external LAN switches will be displayed. If only one external switch is registered, no links will be displayed at all.

  • If a non-supported LAN switch is registered, links may not be properly displayed for that switch.

  • The Network Map can not display the connections between the following switch models: BX600 GbE Switch Blade 30/12 and PY CB Eth Switch/IBP 1Gb 36/12.

  • If a LAN switch between two other switches hasn't been registered yet, or if a non-supported switch is placed in-between, links may not display properly.

    Example

    In such a case, the following inconsistencies may be displayed. A LAN switch port maybe seen as being connected to multiple switches (multiple links are shown attached to that switch port).
