DCB discovery
You can discover DCB devices from both the SAN and IP tabs. The following sections details the
differences between discovery from the SAN tab or the IP tab.
DCB discovery from the SAN tab
•
You can discover DCB devices through fabric discovery.
•
If you discover a fabric that contains DCB devices on the SAN tab, the DCB devices display on
the IP tab in the Network Objects, L2 Topology, IP Topology, and VLAN Topology views. Non-DCB
devices do not display on the IP tab.
•
If you discover DCB devices through fabric discovery on the SAN tab, the DCB devices are
automatically added to IP discovery during rediscovery.
•
If the fabric containing DCB devices is unmonitored on the SAN tab, that fabric no longer
displays on the SAN tab; however, the DCB devices continue to display on the IP tab.
Unmonitored fabrics to not refresh data for devices contained in the fabric. If you rediscover
the DCB device in an unmonitored fabric from the IP tab, rediscovery fails.
•
If the DCB device segments out of a fabric on the SAN tab, the DCB device continues to display
on the IP tab until you accept changes to the fabric on the SAN tab (which deletes the device
from the fabric).
•
If a DCB device joins a fabric on the SAN tab, the DCB device displays on the IP tab as soon as
it displays on the SAN tab.
•
If you delete a DCB device from fabric discovery, the DCB device no longer displays on the IP
tab.
•
If you discover a DCB device through fabric discovery, you cannot delete the device from IP
discovery.
DCB discovery from the IP tab
•
You can discover DCB devices through profile or individual product discovery.
•
If you discover a DCB device from the IP tab, the DCB device does not display on the SAN tab.
•
If you discover a DCB switch through IP discovery, the DCB device displays as a fabric on the IP
tab. Only DCB switches display in the fabric. Non-DCB devices do not display in the fabric on
the IP tab.
•
If the DCB switch is in AG mode, discovery fails.
•
You can only discover chassis-based DCB switches using the IP address (not the CP address).
