Configure the information defined in "9.2.3 Settings for Managed Network Devices" on network devices.
In order to track the network connections between managed servers (PRIMERGY BX series) and adjacent network devices (L2 switches, etc.), and display them in the NetworkViewer, the following protocols should be first enabled on each LAN switch blade and network device.
LLDP (Link Layer Discovery Protocol)
CDP (Cisco Discovery Protocol)
It is necessary to configure a port type for each port of the relevant devices, in order to correctly display the port information of Ethernet Fabric switches (Converged Fabric) on the [Resource Details] tab.
Note
The same protocol needs to be set on the LAN switch blade and the network devices it is connected to.
It is not possible to automatically detect the connection relationship between LAN switch blades set in the IBP mode and network devices.
Network connections may not be displayed properly if two or more network devices are set with a conflicting system name (sysName).
When Monitoring Network Devices
When managing Ethernet fabric switches as resources, configure the following types of accounts:
Vendor | Unit Name | Account Type (*) | Protocol to Use |
|---|---|---|---|

Converged Fabric Switch | Account with user privileges | SSH | |
Brocade | VDX | Account with user privileges or administrator privileges | NETCONF |
*Note: When using an account with user privileges, an administrator password is required.
When Using the Network Device File Management Function
Configure the following types of accounts for each network device used.
Vendor | Unit Name | Account Type (*) | Protocol to Use |
|---|---|---|---|
