The following preparations are required to add display content to the Network Map.
Register LAN switches (LAN switch blades included in a chassis or external switches)
For details on the registration method, refer to "7.4.2 Registering LAN Switches".
The following LAN switches are supported by the Network Map.
BX600 GbE Switch Blade 30/12
PY CB Eth Switch/IBP 1Gb 36/12
PY CB Eth Switch/IBP 1Gb 36/8+2
PY CB Eth Switch/IBP 1Gb 18/6
PY CB Eth Switch/IBP 10Gb 18/8
Cisco Catalyst 2950 series
Cisco Catalyst 2960 series
Cisco Catalyst 3560 series
Cisco Catalyst 3750 series
Detect physical network links
From the ROR console menu, select [Tools]-[Topology]-[Detect physical links].
The [Detect Physical Links] dialog is displayed.
Click <OK>.
Note
If no LAN switch blades have been registered, only network links between external LAN switches will be displayed. If only one external switch is registered, no network links will be displayed at all.
If a non-supported LAN switch is registered, network links may not be properly displayed for that switch.
The Network Map cannot display network links between BX600 GbE Switch Blade 30/12 and the following LAN switch blades:
PY CB Eth Switch/IBP 1Gb 36/12
PY CB Eth Switch/IBP 1Gb 36/8+2
PY CB Eth Switch/IBP 1Gb 18/6
Network links between two supported LAN switches may not be displayed properly if an unregistered or un-supported LAN switch is placed between them.
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).
