VDX/VCS discovery

NOTE

Discovery of a VDX device requires Network OS 2.1.0 or later.

NOTE

Discovery a VCS fabric requires that the seed switch must be running Network OS 2.1.0 or later;

however, the fabric can include members running Network OS 2.0.0.

NOTE

VDX/VCS discovery requires read and write IP Discovery privilege. For more information about

privileges, refer to “User Privileges” on page 1423.

NOTE

You must have the All IP Products AOR (area of responsibility) in your user account to discover new

products. For more information about user accounts, refer to “User accounts” on page 193.

Network OS devices can only be discovered from the IP tab. You can discover a standalone VDX or

VCS-enabled devices as well as VCS fabrics. VDX/VCS devices display in the Network Objects,

L2 Topology, Ethernet Fabrics, IP Topology, and VLAN Topology views.

VDX device and VCS fabric discovery uses the Read/Write Login Prompt credentials for

authentication (refer to “Adding user credentials” on page 56). You cannot discover VDX devices

using root level privileges. If you do not provide discovery credentials, the Management application

uses the default switch credentials for the admin account. You can edit the credentials for multiple

VDX/VCS devices when they all have same firmware version (refer to “Editing IP device discovery”

on page 91).

VCS fabrics display in a tree structure with member nodes. When you discover a new fabric and

initial discovery is complete, the fabric automatically tracks the fabric members. Subsequently, if a

member is removed from the fabric, a minus (-) icon displays (see table below) next to the product

icon.
