Importing
CSM

Devices

after

the

Host

Chassis

has

been

Imported
You
can

import

CSM

devices

into

the

ANM

database

at

any

time

after

the

host

chassis

or

router

has

been
imported.
Note
ANM
assigns

the

device

type

CSM

to

both

CSM

and

CSM-S

devices.

This
assignment

has

to

do

with
how
ANM

collects

and

assigns

the

information

that

i

t

receives

from

the

device

and

does

not

affect
functionality.
To

differentiate

between

these

devices,

see

the

description

information

in

the

user
interface.
Prerequisites
The
host

chassis

of

the

CSM

that

you

are

adding

has

been

imported

(see

the

“Importing

Cisco

IOS

Host
Chassis
and

Chassis

Modules”

section

on

page
