Add a Device Type File

You can add a device type file at any time, and you are prompted to add one when you log in to the interface for the first time.

Before you begin

Obtain the Device Type Version Capabilities (DTVC) file. DTVC files for supported devices are included in the xvm-<version-build>.tar file from which you extracted the installation files. For more information, see the Extreme Visibility Manager Deployment Guide, 6.0.0 .

Procedure

  1. In the Navigation menu, select Configure.
  2. In the Devices panel, select Add > Device Types.
  3. Upload the DTVC file in one of the following ways.
    • Drag the file into the Drag & Drop Device Type-Version Definition box.
    • Select Browse and navigate to the file location.
  4. In the Location field, select the location associated with the device types in the file you uploaded.
  5. Select Add.
    The device types appear in the Manage Device Types page, which you can see by selecting Device Types in the Devices panel.
