 == Setting up your Switch ==
 
+=== Creating switch node and interface types ===
 
+In order to add our switch to the database, we need to setup node and interface types for them.
+
+We provide some SQL to make this easy.  The script switch-types-create defines the following:
+
+ * Node types for hp5412 (which included hp5406), hp2810, and nortel5510 switch types.
+ * Interfaces for generic inter-switch trunks (if your site has more than one switch) named "trunk_100MbE", "trunk_1GbE", and "trunk_10GbE".
+
+For other switch types, please refer to the [https://users.emulab.net/trac/emulab/wiki/install/switches-db.html Emulab Documentation].
+
+To load these default node and interface types, simply:
+
+{{{
+mysql tbdb < ~<builduser>/testbed/sql/switch-types-create.sql
+}}}
+
+=== Adding your switch to DNS ===
+
+Your switch needs a name that resolves.  You must add it either to /etc/hosts or to the name server running on boss.
+
+To add it to the name server, add it into /etc/namedb/<yoursitename>.internal.db.head.  
+You then refresh the DNS server by running /usr/testbed/sbin/named_setup.  
+
+
+For example, on mini-isi.deterlab.net we have our switch that we will name hp1 at 192.168.254.1 on the HARDWARE_CONTROL network.  So we add it to DNS as follows:
+
+{{{
+[jhickey@boss ~]$ sudo su -
+boss# echo "hp1    IN A 192.168.254.1" >> /etc/namedb/mini-isi.deterlab.net.internal.db.head 
+boss# logout
+[jhickey@boss ~]$ /usr/testbed/sbin/named_setup 
+[jhickey@boss ~]$ ping -c 1 hp1
+PING hp1.mini-isi.deterlab.net (192.168.254.1): 56 data bytes
+64 bytes from 192.168.254.1: icmp_seq=0 ttl=63 time=3.496 ms
+
+--- hp1.mini-isi.deterlab.net ping statistics ---
+1 packets transmitted, 1 packets received, 0.0% packet loss
+round-trip min/avg/max/stddev = 3.496/3.496/3.496/0.000 ms
+[jhickey@boss ~]$ 
+}}}
+
+
+=== Adding in your switches to the database ===
+
+{{{
+insert into nodes set
+      node_id='hp1',phys_nodeid='hp1',type='hp2180',role='testswitch';
+}}}
+
+Some sites have separate switches for their control and experimental networks.  If you are adding a dedicated control network swtich, use '''ctrlswitch''' as the role.
+
+You must be able to resolve node_id.  You must add it in
