NVENTORY
The Inventory Manager applet keeps a database of all the Summit switches managed by
the ExtremeWare Enterprise Manager. Any Enterprise Manager user can view status
information about the switches currently known to Enterprise Manager. Users with
Administrator or Manager access can add switches to or delete switches from the list of
managed switches in the database. You can also refresh the information in the database
related to the switches that the Enterprise Manager is managing.
The ExtremeWare Enterprise Manager 1.0 software does not provide an automatic
discovery function. You add Summit switches to the Enterprise Manager database by
using the Inventory Manager Add function. Once a switch is known to the Enterprise
Manager, you can configure it through the VLAN Manager, Virtual Chassis Stack
Manager, and the QoS Manager.
