Step 5

Locating Other Switches

The Locate Switches option uses SNMPv2 and discovers devices responding to SNMP requests with the
read-only community string public.
To locate switches that are not included in the currently discovered fabric, follow these steps:
Choose File > Locate Switches from the Fabric Manager main window. You see the Locate Switches
Step 1
dialog box.
Enter a range of specific addresses belonging to a specific subnet which limit the research for the
Step 2
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]
Enter the appropriate read community string in the Read Community field. The default value for this
Step 3
string is "public."
Click Display Cisco MDS 9000 Only to display only the Cisco MDS 9000 Family switches in your
Step 4
network fabric.
Click Search to discover switches and devices in your network fabric. You see the results of the
Step 5
discovery in the Locate Switches window.
Note

Configuring an OUI

When two WWNs in different VSANs on the same fabric have the same IP address, you will need to
specify an Organizationally Unique Identifier (OUI) that Fabric Manager can use to differentiate the
WWNs. If Fabric Manager encounters this situation, a dialog is displayed. Enter the OUI in the
appropriate fields in the dialog. Restart Fabric Manager for your changes to take effect.
OL-7753-01
The number in the lower left corner of the screen increments as the device locator attempts to
discover the devices in your network fabric. When the discovery process is complete, the number
indicates the number of rows displayed.
