What Are the Tasks That I should Perform to be Able to Manage Supported Devices from Network Director?
Following is the sequence of tasks that you need to perform to be able to manage switches, WLCs, and QFabric systems in your network by using Network Director:
- Discover devices by using the Discover Devices task in Build mode with Location, Logical, Physical, or Custom Views selected. Network Director automatically creates appropriate profiles based on the configuration of the discovered devices.
- Optionally, create additional profiles depending on your network configuration and requirements.
- Assign profiles to switches, WLCs, and QFabric systems.
- Deploy the configuration changes to devices by using the Deploy Configuration Changes task in Deploy mode.
- Use Monitor mode to analyze the status and performance of devices.
- Use Fault mode to know about the health of your network and changing conditions of your equipment.
- Use Report mode to create standardized reports from the monitoring and fault data collected by Network Director.
Following is the sequence of tasks that you need to perform to be able to manage virtual devices in your network using Network Director:
- Discover Virtual Infrastructure (VMware vCenter) by using the Discover Virtual Devices task in the Build mode with Virtual View selected.
- Manage Network Adapter associations between the host network adapter and the corresponding physical network adapter on the physical switch by using the Manage Network Adapter Associations task.
- Set the orchestration mode of each vCenter server from the Manage Virtual Networks page.
- Use Monitor mode to analyze the status and performance of virtual devices and to view the vMotion history.
