Registering Switches
To facilitate traffic accounting and servers allocation, you can save the information about switches located in your Data Centers in HSPcomplete database.
To register a new switch:
- Click Switches on the Servers Manager submenu. The list of switches registered (if any) appears on the screen.
- Click the New Switch button.
- Fill the form that appears:
- Type the name of the switch into the Identification field. This is the name the switch will be referred to in HSPcomplete database. You can enter any alphanumerical name (number of words and upper/lower case is not critical).
- Type the number of ports in the switch into the Total number of ports field.
- Type the switch manufacturer name into the Brand field.
- Enter the switch model specification into the Model field.
- You can specify the switch actual location by selecting the Data Center a switch is located in from the Data Center drop-down menu.
- You can register servers connected to the switch right away. To this effect, click the Add button on the Dedicated Servers part of the form and select one or more servers from the list that appears in the popup window. As you click on a server name, it appears in the list. Add servers and close the popup list. In case of mistake or if you want to re-group servers, you can remove a server from the list and detach it from the rack, To this effect, select a server. To select several servers in series, hold down SHIFT, and then click the first and last server names of the group. To select several servers that are nonadjacent in the list, hold down CTRL, and click a server name. To remove the selected servers from the rack, click the Remove button.
