Inferred Switch
A switch connected to a ‘Discovered Switch’ or a ‘Monitored Switch’ with any of the following
conditions:
• The connected switch does not have a valid IP address. It has only fiber channel
connectivity with ‘Discovered Switch’ or ‘Monitored Switch’.
• The connected switch has a valid IP address but the credentials entered in the profile do
not apply to this switch.
• Any switch which is present in the SAN but may not have been added to the profile.
• Any switch that may have been added to the SAN after creating the profile in HP IIAS.
For an Inferred Switch; Detailed Inventory, Events & Diagnostics logs are not supported.
NOTE: The only difference between a ‘Discovered Switch’ and ‘Monitored Switch’ is for a
‘Discovered Switch’, SFP monitoring and diagnostics is not performed hence there are no
diagnostics events for a ‘Discovered Switch’.
