Device Types and Objects

Once auto discovery has located a device, the devices are made available to the networks.

Depending on the devices servers and the related devices, you might have the following devices types and objects that can be managed by your network:

• Routers

• Generic Switches

• Contivity

• Connectors

• Clouds

• Generic Devices

• VPN Concentrators

• ATM Switches

• Content Switch

• Firewalls

• layer and Switch

• Load Balancer

• Access Points

• Modems

After completing Auto Discovery to locate devices, you must manage the devices to the appropriate networks. Devices can be assigned to multiple networks. When a device is assigned to a network or  networks, the device is classified as Managed.

There are two ways that a device can be associated with a network:

• Automatically assigned during Auto Discovery

• Using the Mange Devices window
