Operational Notes on Device Discovery and Management
-
The administrator username that you specify for discovering the OpenStack server must have admin privileges and must belong to an admin tenant in the OpenStack server.
-
In a data center network, changes that you make to a vCenter network are dynamically updated in Network Director. However, changes that are made on an OpenStack network require you to wait for the periodic synchronization job to run or you must perform a manual resynchronization for the changes to be updated in Network Director.
-
While discovering a CPE switch for a QFabric system, we recommend that you use the root user credentials.
-
You must run the following command on all the switches that are connected to a vCenter server for LLDP discovery to work.
user@switch#
set protocols lldp port-id-subtype
