2. Type the first three sets of digits of an IP address in the first three sections of the IP Address

Range field.

3. Type a wildcard in the last section of the IP Address Range field to represent the range of the

scan. For example:

• 192.168.168.*

Discovers any fabric in the address range of 192.168.168.0 through 192.168.168.255.

• 192.168.168.1**

Discovers any fabric in the address range of 192.168.168.100 through 192.168.168.199.

• 192.168.168.11*

Discovers any fabric in the address range of 192.168.168.110 through 192.168.168.119.

• 192.168.168.25*

Discovers any fabric in the address range of 192.168.168.250 through 192.168.168.255.

NOTE

The number before the “*” can be any number as long as the resulting range is greater than 0

and less than 255. You cannot enter 192.168.168.3** or 192.168.168.26*, for example.

4. Click Scan.

The result of the scan is a list of available fabrics that match the IP address range. The IP

addresses are of seed switches that are running the latest firmware in the fabrics and are

HTTP-reachable from Fabric Manager. If multiple switches in the fabric are running the latest

firmware version, then the seed switch is randomly chosen from those switches.

5. Click the check boxes next to the fabrics you want to discover. Click Select All to select all of the

fabrics in the list.

6. Click Discover Selected Fabrics.
