The following preparations are required to add display content into the Network Map.
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
Detect physical network links
From the RC console's menu, select [Tools]-[Topology]-[Detect physical links].
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).
