The Locate Switches option uses SNMPv2 and discovers devices responding to SNMP requests with the read-only community string public.
To locate switches that are not included in the currently discovered fabric, follow these steps:
You see the Locate Switches dialog box.
192.168.100.[1-254]
Multiple ranges can be specified, separated by commas. For example, to look for all the devices in the two subnets 192.168.199.0 and 192.169.100.0, use the following string:
192.168.100.[1-254], 192.169.100.[1-254]
The default value for this string is “public.”
Note | The number in the lower left corner of the screen increments as the device locator attempts to discover the devices in your network fabric. When the discovery process is complete, the number indicates the number of rows displayed. |
