Use the commands in this section to add appliances that will function as sensors to a Central Management appliance.
Log in to the Central Management CLI.
Go to CLI configuration mode:
cm-hostname > enable
cm-hostname # configure terminal
Add the appliance:
cm-hostname (config) # cmc appliance <appl ID> address <IP address>
cm-hostname (config) # cmc appliance <appl lD> auth password username <username>
cm-hostname (config) # cmc appliance <appl ID> auth password password <password>
where:
appl ID is the name of the appliance. (The name is displayed in the show cmc appliances command output.)
IP address is the IPv4 or IPv6 address of the management interface on the appliance.
username is the username of a user account on the appliance with the admin role.
password is the password of the user specified by username.
Repeat the previous step for each additional appliance.
Check the connection status:
cm-hostname (config) # show cmc appliances
Save your changes:
cm-hostname (config) # write memory
