Nodes CSV File Requirements
The nodes CSV file defines the nodes, interfaces, and their details
required to add them to CC-SG.
Node names must be unique. If you enter duplicate node names,
CC-SG adds a number in parentheses to the name to make it
unique, and adds the node. If you are also assigning categories and
elements to nodes in the CSV file, and you have duplicate node
names, categories and elements may be assigned to the wrong
nodes. To prevent this, give each node a unique name. Or, import
nodes first, check their names in CC-SG, and then import a separate
file to assign categories and elements to the correct node names.
To add out-of band interfaces, the associated port must not be
configured in CC-SG.
You cannot import virtual infrastructure nodes and interfaces. Use
the options in Nodes > Virtualization.
The first interface in the CSV file after the ADD NODE command is
assigned as the node's default interface.
Export a file from CC-SG to view the Comments, which include all
tags and parameters needed to create a valid CSV file. See
Export
Nodes
(on page 149).
Follow the additional requirements for all CSV files. See
Common
CSV File Requirements
