Adding a device from the network
You can use the Power Center management console to discover a device from the network.
NOTE: Power Center server tries to get device names from the DNS server specified in the network
configuration of the operating system. This may cause the device name to be different from the
actual one if the DNS server resolves the device IP address to a different device name.
Before adding a device from the network, make sure the DNS server is set up correctly. Specifically, make
sure that:
• There is a DNS server running on the Power Center network.
• The specified DNS server has a reverse DNS zone for the network on which you are trying to discover
the devices.
