Manually Adding a Device or Switch to the Topology View
Elements can be manually added to the topology view. If an SNA-capable device or a 
managed switch that exists in the network is not detected automatically and displayed in the 
topology, you can add it manually by performing the following:
STEP 1 Click  in the top right corner of the Topology view. An Enter IP Address 
text box is displayed.
STEP  2 Enter the IP address of the switch to be added. The following message is received:
If the device is not detected, feedback is displayed, and the device is added to the Topology 
view, as an offline unmanaged switch:
Devices added by this method remain in the topology map until removed manually. If such 
devices are not connected, or not detected by SNA, they are displayed as offline devices.
