16. Once the last NE has gone through the Install Software Image window and all RICs have
booted successfully, the message window shown in Figure 706-12 appears. This window
informs the user that all RICs have booted and that the network is ready for discovery. The
Initiate Discovery button on the Current Status window is now enabled.
17. Select Initiate Discovery. The status for the NEs changes one at a time from “NE eligible
for discovery” to “Discovering NE”. Once the discovery process is completed on an NE,
the status changes to “NE discovered”. Refer to Figure 706-13 for an example of NE-1
completing discovery, NE-2 in process of discovery, and NE-3 awaiting discovery.
18. When the discovery is completed on all NEs, the system draws them in a ring configuration
on the screen according to their connectivity. To redraw the layout of the Icons before
saving the system drawn layout, select the arrow tool on the toolbar on the left side of the
screen, click on and drag the NEs to the desired position on the screen, and release the left
mouse button. See Figure 706-14.
19. The Icons now stay positioned in the new locations and maintain the highlighted
connection between them. This capability enables the user to group NEs that may be
collocated or separate them according to their geographical locations. The user may also
return the icons to their original positions on the screen by selecting the Configuration pull
down menu, Topology, and Revert to Saved ICON Layout or Alt+C, Alt+T and Alt+V.
Refer to Figure 706-15.
20. To save the icon layout displayed on the screen, select File and Save Icon Layout (Alt+F
and Alt+S), or use the diskette icon on the tool bar. See Figure 706-16.
21. The confirmation window appears as shown in Figure 706-17. Select OK. The newly drawn
Icon layout will remain this way each time the GUI is launched, until the layout is redrawn
and saved again.
Stop! You have completed this procedure.
