Hi Sandro, thanks.

I´ve already done that. The problem is that only a few switch ports show
what is connected, in most cases servers, but I know that all ports have
servers connected. Why doesn´t it show what is connected on every port ?

Is there any configuration step missing ? Both on TSA or on the switches ?

Thanks.

Mario
