How to Add a Tool to a Toolbox

In addition to the default tools that ship with the console, additional tools can be launched from the console. As these tools become available, you can add one or more tools to an existing toolbox.

You can also create a new toolbox for either local management or network management. Then, you can add tools to the new toolbox.

1. Become superuser or assume an equivalent role.

   Roles contain authorizations and privileged commands. For more information about roles, see Configuring RBAC (Task Map) in System Administration Guide: Security Services.

2. Start the Toolbox Editor, if necessary.
