this task:
Step 1 Choose File > Locate Switches and Devices.
You see the Locate Switches dialog box.
Step 2 In the Comma Separated Subnets field, enter a range of specific addresses belonging to a specific subnet
to limit the research for the switches.
To look for a Cisco 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]
Step 3 Enter the appropriate read community string in the Read Community field.
The default value for this string is public.
