About adding B5800 Branch Gateways to System Manager
There are three different methods available that can be used to add B5800 Branch Gateways
to System Manager. See one of the following topics:
•
Discovering B5800 Branch Gateways on page 126. This method requires you to identify
the subnet IP address in which each branch is located. This method does not
automatically discover all B5800 Branch Gateways in a network.
• Bulk importing of devices on page 128. This method requires you to manually add each
B5800 Branch Gateway to an xml file that is then used for bulk import to System
Manager.
•
Adding the B5800 Branch Gateways to System Manager on page 130. This method
requires you to manually add each branch to System Manager by identifying the IP
address of the B5800 Branch Gateway.
Discovering B5800 Branch Gateways
Before you begin
Enable SNMP on the B5800 Branch Gateway to be updated. See Enabling SNMP and polling
support on page 127.

different subnet. This procedure must be performed for each branch.
