> # Adding Peers to List

> ## Detailed Steps

> To configure the static IP peers list, follow these steps:

> 1. From the DCNM-SAN menu, select Tools > NPV CFS Setup.

> The NPV Device Selection dialog box is displayed with the list of NPV device peers retrieved from the switch including the device name, device IP address, and the status of the peer.

> 2. From the NPV Device to retrieve peer list from drop-down list, select the device to retrieve the peer list from.

> If the NPV device in the list retrieved from the switch is present in the fabric, then one of the following statuses is displayed: Local, Reachable, Unreachable, or Discovery in Progress. If the NPV device is not present in the fabric, then the status is displayed as Not in Fabric.

> Note If the status is displayed as Not in Fabric, you must remove the device from the list.

> 3. Click Add.

> A dialog box is displayed with the list of all the NPV devices in the fabric that are not included in the current peer list. By default, all the switches in the list are selected.

> 4. Select the peers, and then click Ok to add the peers to the list.

> The peers are added to the list with To Be Added status.

> 5. Click Set to confirm adding the peers to the list and start the peers list propagation by CFS.
