You are now ready to import the devices into 3Com Network
Administrator:
12 Launch 3Com Network Administrator if it is not already running.
13 Select File > Import.
14 Select the Import From CSV File radio button and enter
C:\MyDevices.csv into the edit field.
15 Select OK.
The Import Progress step is displayed indicating that 3Com Network
Administrator is importing the devices from your CSV file. After a while
the Import Progress dialog will close and be replaced by the Refresh
Progress dialog. You will see the devices appearing in the list box.
16 When the refresh completes the Summary step is displayed and should
indicate that there were no import or refresh problems. Problems that
have been detected should be resolved. For more information on how to
do this see “
Key Considerations” on page 102.
17 Click OK in the Summary step and the new devices will be added to the
inventory. Confirm this by selecting All 3Com devices in the tree. The
devices will be present in the device list shown in the right hand side of
the device window.
You can now use the configuration tools that 3Com Network
Administrator provides to manage the imported devices.
Refreshing Existing
Devices
You are using Switch 4400s at the edge of the network and you need to
increase the number of ports to connect some new users. To achieve this
you have added extra units to a selection of your devices, creating
stacked devices.
Certain configuration tools within 3Com Network Administrator can
adapt to the fact that the configuration held in the inventory does not
match that of the real devices. However, other configuration tools will
either continue to function (warning you that the configuration is out of
date) or will simply not function. 3Com recommends that you keep the
configuration of devices held in the inventory file up-to-date with the real
configuration on the network. Therefore, if you know certain devices are
out-of-date you can refresh them as follows:
