How Do I Discover the Network?
• Revert To Default—Choose File > Revert to Default to cancel your settings and revert to previous
settings. Any custom map you created for the nodes under subgroups currently displayed in the
Network Map will be erased. The Network Map reverts to the default map assigned to these nodes.
Note Revert to Default is only available for nodes under sub-groups.
4.6 How Do I Discover the Network?
The Cisco MGM discovery service:
• Collects information from individual MGX8880 and MGX8850 NEs
• Discovers new NEs
• Updates device-level information (such as inventory and alarms).
Cisco MGM supports discovery for MGX8880 and MGX8850 chassis and sub-chassis components
using IP addresses, address list, or IP address range as input.
The specific NE components to be discovered and displayed in the EMS GUI are:
• PXM45 card
• VXSM card
• VISM-PR card
• RPM-XF card
• RPM-PR card
• AXSM/B card
• AXSME card
• SRME card
• SRME/B card
• Connections
Cisco MGM provides sub-chassis component discovery (configuration upload and parse) and sync up,
as well as, autonomous traps processing of configuration changes. Sync up is initiated periodically.
Note The Discovered Network Elements group can only be viewed by SuperUsers and NetworkAdmins in
cases where all NEs are assigned to them. Therefore, in the Add Network Element(s) wizard, the
grouping option “Group the Discovered NE(s) in the Discovered Network Elements Group” is not
available.
