Registering Network Devices (Adjacent Switches) Using the CLI

This section explains the procedure for registering network devices (adjacent switches) using the CLI.

Purpose

When enabling the automatic quarantining of physical servers, it is necessary to register switches adjacent to the physical servers as network devices in Resource Orchestrator.

Preparations

To enable the VLAN settings of network devices to be modified during automatic quarantining, it is necessary to register scripts in advance which will automatically configure and operate network devices.

For details, refer to the following.

Appendix D Preparations for Automatic Configuration and Operation of Network Devices

Procedure

Perform the following procedure:

To register adjacent network switches, create the network configuration information XML file.

For details, refer to "XML definitions for batch creation of multiple network devices" in "A.6 Network Configuration Information XML File".
Import the network configuration information XML file. Execute the following command.
```
> rcxadm netconfig import -file file.xml 
```

Confirmation Procedure

Confirm that the network configuration information has been successfully registered. Execute the following command.

> rcxadm netdevice show -name network_device_name

Information

When Creating Network Devices Individually

Perform the following procedure:

Create the network configuration information XML file.

For details, refer to "XML definitions for creation of individual network devices" in "A.6 Network Configuration Information XML File".
Create the network device. Execute the following command. For file.xml, specify the network configuration XML file created in step 1.
```
> rcxadm netdevice create -file file.xml 
```
