Add Allen-Bradley Stratix Switch dialog box

How do I open the Add Allen-Bradley Stratix Switch dialog box?
  1. To enter Design mode if you are not already in it, click design_mode_button.
  2. In the Asset Catalog, expand the
    Network Device Items
     node.
  3. Drag an Allen-Bradley Stratix Switch asset onto the tree in the Asset View.
Use the
Add Allen-Bradley Stratix Switch
 dialog box to add an Allen-Bradley Stratix Switch to the asset tree. You can add an Allen-Bradley Stratix Switch in the root or in a container.
The device is added to the asset tree as soon as this dialog box opens. Clicking
Cancel
 in this dialog box abandons any changes made to the device properties, but leaves the device in the tree.
Be aware of the following before adding or connecting to an Allen-Bradley Stratix Switch:
  • FactoryTalk AssetCentre supports Allen-Bradley Stratix Switches that are enabled with the password authentication method. If the Allen-Bradley Stratix Switch is enabled with the public-key or keyboard-interactive method only, you need to turn on the password authentication method, so that the switch is supported by FactoryTalk AssetCentre.
  • Only
    Password
     can be defined as the command prompt for password for the device. Other command prompts cannot be recognized by FactoryTalk AssetCentre.
  • Different validation methods may be defined on different lines in a connection session. In some cases, a validation method being used for the current line may not be applicable on a new line that has just become available for FactoryTalk AssetCentre to use.
  • A line limitation may be defined for the Allen-Bradley Stratix Switch. If the number of connection sessions that FactoryTalk AssetCentre attempts exceeds the line limitation set up on the device, the connection to the device may fail.
  • For some Allen-Bradley Stratix Switches with legacy firmware revisions, if the password has 26 or more characters, logging on to the device may fail with the SSH connection type.
  • Only users with administrative privileges can perform Backup or Backup and Compare schedules on a Stratix Switch asset.
    TIP:
    If an extra file is created and configured to store the VLAN information as that of the vlan.dat file, only the vlan.dat file is backed up during schedules.
