Discovering Cisco Switches
The management server discovers Cisco switches through SNMP (Simple Network Management
Protocol) and SMI-S (Storage Management Initiative Specification) connections—depending on the
model of the Cisco switch. See the Support Matrix for details on supported switch models and
firmware revisions.
