Adding a device manually

  1. On the Navigation panel, select Devices.
  2. Click Create.

    The General tab appears.

  3. In the IP Address field, enter the IP address of the device.

    Enter IPv6 addresses enclosed in square brackets.

  4. Click Discover.

    Administration Console attempts to discover the device and retrieve as much information from it as possible.

    If the Discover command cannot complete all of the fields, or if the device cannot be discovered on the network, complete the remaining fields. All fields except Description are required.

    The device must have a unique IP address, MAC address, device name, and host name. If you enter a value for these fields that matches a device that is already on the system, an error prevents you from adding the device. You must delete the existing device or change its settings before installing your new one.

  5. Click Save.

    The device appears on the list of available devices.
