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.

For information about interacting with the grid and form, see Standard Configuration Interface in Unified Assurance Concepts.

This user interface calls REST methods from the api/device/types endpoints. See REST API for Unified Assurance Core for details.

The UI path for this interface is Configuration -> Device Catalog -> Device Types.

Form Fields

  • System Object ID: SysOID of the device.

  • Name: The name of the Device Type.

  • Vendor: The manufacturer/vendor of the Device Type.

  • Category: The type of device, such as router, switch, server, etc.

Best Practice

Routinely verify that all devices discovered in Unified Assurance have a valid Device Type. This will help in device categorization and maintenance.
