Device Types¶
Device Types is a standard configuration interface for adding, editing, and removing the different device types that can be associated with discovered devices. Some example device types include firewalls, switches, and routers.
Refer to the Standard Configuration Interface guide for details on interacting with the grid and form.
This user interface calls REST methods from api/device/types.
The UI path for this interface is Configuration -> Device Catalog -> Device Types.
Form Fields¶
-
System Object ID - SysOID of the device.
-
Device Type Name - The name of the Device Type.
-
Device Type Vendor - The manufacturer/vendor of the Device Type.
-
Device Type Category - The type of device, such as router, switch, server, etc.
Best Practices¶
- Routinely verify that all devices discovered in Assure1 have a valid Device Type. This will help in device categorization and maintenance.
