You can add Connectrix switches individually by using the Add Connectrix button, or you can add all switches in a fabric by using the Discover Via Seed Switch button.
Add Connectrix switches individually as follows:
A read-only user account is sufficient.
The CloudIQ Collector validates API connectivity and authentication credentials.
Once switches are added, you can validate, edit, or delete the entry.
Add all switches in a fabric as follows:
Alternatively, you can select Import CSV to import a list of usernames and passwords in CSV format. The CloudIQ Collector tests the credentials against the configured switches and binds the correct credentials to each switch.
Alternatively, you can select Import CSV to import a list of switch IP addresses. Only one switch per fabric is needed because the CloudIQ Collector discovers all other switches in the fabric during the Discover step.
Once switches are added, you can validate, edit, or delete each entry.
