Device Management 61 SmartSwitch6000
actions as placing an already discovered module
in Mixed Management mode or adding a new
chassis or module to the network.
For proper device management, the module’s
Device icon appear in a Topology view and you
may place the chassis’s Device icon in a Room
Location view. This is true whether you use
AutoDiscovery or manual modeling, In some
instances, this may require you to copy and paste
Device icons into the proper SPECTRUM views.
The manual modeling instructions given in this
section describe how this is accomplished.
Manual Modeling Overview
The following alternatives exist for modeling your
network components manually.
• Modeling using the chassis IP address in a
Location View. Create a chassis model within
a Room Location view using the chassis’s IP
address. Once the chassis is modeled,
SPECTRUM’s distributed management
feature identifies and models the modules
contained in the chassis and places their
Device icons in the chassis’s Container view.
You then copy and paste the Device icons into
the Topology view.
• Modeling using the Chassis IP Address in
the Topology view. You can also create the
chassis IP address in the Topology view by
modeling with the chassis’s IP address in the
Topology view and all the models in the
chassis will appear here. Locate the chassis
Device icon in the Search Manager. Select an
attribute by which you can search for your
Chassis. Create a Room Location view and
copy the chassis Device icon into the Room
Location view.
Container View
Access: From the Icon Subviews men for the Chassis
Device icon, select Container.
This view (Figure 18) displays Location view
Device icons for each module modeled in
SPECTRUM and contained in the chassis.
Note:
Note:
This only works when models are in
the distributed mode.
