A Typical Workflow in Cisco MGM
1.4.4 Adding a Network Element
To add a network element (NE):
Step 1 In the Domain Explorer window, click the Add Network Element(s) tool, or choose File > Add
Network Element(s).
Step 2 Enter the requested information.
Change the operational state for the NE to In Service.
Make sure you entered the IP address correctly.
Step 3 Click Finish.
Step 4 (Optional) Add more network elements.
Note Wait two to five minutes while the Cisco MGM server completes the node discovery.
Step 5 Check to see if the connectivity state is correct. If Cisco MGM cannot connect to the network element,
the network element displays an unavailable connectivity state in the Domain Explorer topology tree. If
there is a connectivity problem, try to diagnose the connectivity configuration.
