The following preparations are required to add display content to the NetworkViewer.
Register LAN switches (LAN switch blades included in a chassis)
For details on the registration method, refer to "5.4.3 Registering LAN Switch Blades".
Register network devices or physical network links
For details on the method, refer to "5.7 Registering Network Devices".
Note
If no LAN switch blades have been registered, only network links between external L2 switches will be displayed. If only one external switch is registered, no network links will be displayed at all.
If a non-supported L2 switch is registered, network links may not be properly displayed for that switch.
The NetworkViewer 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 L2 switches may not be displayed properly if an unregistered or un-supported L2 switch is placed between them.
Example
In such a case, the following inconsistencies may be displayed. A L2 switch port maybe seen as being connected to multiple switches (multiple links are shown attached to that switch port).
The relation of links of an external port is not displayed for LAN switch blade that operates in the Converged Fabric mode or LAN switch blade PY CB 10Gb FEX Nexus B22.
The relation of links composed of the link aggregation might not be correctly displayed.
