This section explains how to register network devices.
When Registering Individual Network Devices
Use the rcxadm netdevice create command to register network devices defined in network configuration information (XML definition).
When Batch Registering Multiple Network Devices
Use the rcxadm netconfig import command to register network devices defined in network configuration information (XML definition).
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".
When registering an unsupported network device, add the model of the network device to be registered to the model definition for network devices, and register the network device after updating the model definition file.
For information about the model definition file, refer to "15.15 Network Device Model Definition" 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 Settings of LAN Switch Blades and LAN Switches (L2 Switches)" 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 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.
