***********
The switchdiscover command scans the subnets and discovers all the swithches on the subnets. The command takes a list of subnets as input. The default subnets are the ones that the xCAT management node is on. It uses nmap command to discover the switches. However, you can specify other discovery methods such as lldp with \ **-s**\ flag. You can write the discovered switches into xCAT database with \ **-w**\ flag. This command supports may output formats such as xml(\ **-x**\ ), raw(\ **-r**\ ) and stanza(\ **-z**\ ) in addition to the default format.

Specify one or more IP ranges. Each can be an ip address (10.1.2.3) or an ip range (10.1.2.0/24). If the range is huge, for example, 192.168.1.1/8, the switch discover may take a very long time to scan. So the range should be exactly specified.
For nmap and snmp scan method, it accepts multiple formats. For example, 192.168.1.1/24, 40-41.1-2.3-4.1-100.

If the range is not specified, the command scans all the subnets that the active network interfaces (eth0, eth1) are on where this command is issued.
