Adding nodes to the topology map

When generating a topology map, the application can automatically add detected nodes to the topology map. If some relevant nodes were not automatically added by the application, you can manually add them when working with the topology map.

Only users with the Administrator role can manually add nodes.

If you know the MAC- and/or IP address of a device that you want to add to the topology map as a node, you can manually add this device. If the address information of a node is unknown or missing (for example, if the device is a hub), you can add an unmanaged switch node.

To add an unmanaged switch to the topology map:

1. Connect to the Kaspersky Industrial CyberSecurity for Networks Server through the web interface using the Administrator account.
2. On the Topology map tab in the Network map section, open the details area containing the settings for the unmanaged switch by clicking the Add node → New unmanaged switch link.
3. Enter the node name.

   The node name must be unique (must not match the names of other unmanaged switches) and must contain no more than 100 characters. You can use letters, numerals, a space, and the following special characters: ! @ # № $ % ^ & ( ) [ ] { } / \ ' , . - _ = +. The node name must begin and end with any permitted character except a space.

4. Click Save.

The unmanaged switch node will appear on the topology map. Then you will be able to add links with this node for other nodes.
