Updating Device Information—The Sync Operation
EPICenter Reference Guide
81
NOTE
The Sync function does not remove obsolete links from a Topology map. You must use the Sync Links command
within the Topology applet to detect links that no longer exist.
You must have read-write access (Administrator or Manager-level access) to perform a Sync . If you
have Monitor access only, you can not use this function.
You can begin the synchronize function using the Sync button on the toolbar, or by selecting a device or
device group in the Component Tree, right-clicking to display the pop-up menu, and selecting the Sync
command.
To refresh the configuration and status information, follow these steps:
1 Click Sync at the top of the Inventory Manager page.
The Synchronize Devices dialog, shown in Figure 35 , is displayed, listing the devices in the
EPICenter database.

2 To select a device from a specific device group, select the device group from the pull-down list in the
Filter by Device Group field. Select All Devices to view the list of all devices from all device
groups.
3 Select one or more devices in the Device list.
4 Click Reset at any time prior to initiating the Sync to deselect all device selections and start over.
5 Click Sync to initiate the synchronization process.
The Inventory Manager uses SNMP to retrieve configuration and status information from each selected
switch, and updates the EPICenter database with that information.
The Sync function displays a message window that shows the status of the sync operation on the
selected devices. When the sync has completed on all devices, click OK to continue.
NOTE
Offline devices display a warning and are not synchronized.
