Hi Vinícius >From the information on the makegocons page it will only create remote consoles for the devices with BMC ports. As the switches don't have this you can't get remote serial console.
>From the link you posted you can define the switches so that you can use xdsh to run command across all switches like you can do with the nodes in the cluster. This is via the ssh connection not the serial console. The link gets you to stetup the authentication and type of switch (in your case you would just need general switch type) to allow this xdsh connection. This is not what is used for discovery and if you are only looking to get discovery working you still need to add the switch as a node but you only need to add it with SNMP defined. Carl would have included the makegocons below as his example also included comp node definitions so it would be there for completeness not because it is required for the switches.
