Locating Other Switches
To locate switches that are not included in the currently discovered fabric using Fabric Manager, follow
these steps:
Step 1 Choose File > Locate Switches and Devices.
You see the Locate Switches dialog box.
Step 2 In the Comma Separated Subnets field, enter a range of specific addresses belonging to a specific subnet
to limit the research for the switches. To look for a Cisco MDS 9000 switch belonging to subnet
192.168.199.0, use the following string:
192.168.100.[1-254]
Multiple ranges can be specified, separated by commas. For example, to look for all the devices in the
two subnets 192.168.199.0 and 192.169.100.0, use the following string:
192.168.100.[1-254], 192.169.100.[1-254]
Step 3 Enter the appropriate read community string in the Read Community field.
The default value for this string is public.
Step 4 Click Display Cisco MDS 9000 Only to display only the Cisco MDS 9000 Family switches in your
network fabric.
Step 5 Click Search to discover switches and devices in your network fabric.
You see the results of the discovery in the Locate Switches window. (See Figure 66-10.)
