Device Details
This function helps you query the device details, including the device label, device status, sysOID, IP address, mask, contact, location, runtime, device model, device category, system description, and maintenance tag. You can also click the interface list link to enter the interface list page of the current device .
Parameters
- Device Status: Specifies the current operation and management status of the device. The device status can be measured by the management status or the operational status.
- The device management status consists of managed and unmanaged. Managed: The system manages the device, including polling the interface and the device status, and receiving device alarms. Unmanaged: The device is not managed by the system, and the icon of the device list is grey.
- The device operational status can be critical, major, minor, alarm, informational, and unknown. See the Color Key. The critical, major, minor, alarm and informational states correspond to device alarm levels.
- Critical: When the highest level of unconfirmed alarms on the device is critical, the device is in the critical state. For example, the device is not reachable. The device icon in the device list is red.
- Major: When the highest level of unconfirmed alarms on the device is major, the device is in the major state. For example, the device refuses SNMP, or a certain port is in the DOWN state. The device icon in the device list is orange.
- Minor: When the highest level of unconfirmed alarms on the device is minor, the device is in the minor state. For example, the authentication check fails. The device icon in the device list is yellow.
- Alarm: When the highest level of unconfirmed alarms on the device is alarm, the device is in the alarm state. For example, the device type changes. The device icon in the device list is light blue.
- Informational: The device that runs in the normal state. The device icon in the device list is green.
- Unknown: The device is in the unknown state under the following conditions: The device has not obtained its alarm status, the new device is waiting for obtaining the alarm status, or the device has just restored from the unmanaged state to the managed state. The device icon in the device list is light purple.
- Location: You can modify device location information and configure the synchronization options on the System > System Settings page.
- Interface Number: This parameter indicates the number of all interfaces. You can click an interface number link to view all interfaces.
Precautions
- When the IP address of a device changes, if you click the More link on the latest 10 unrecovered alarm list, the page displays only the alarms after the IP change. To see the alarms before the change, modify the query criteria and query alarms again.
- The system does not poll or synchronize unmanaged devices. However, the system can configure unmanaged devices.
- For an exported Ping result file, different operating systems have different restrictions on the maximum length of the file name that contains the device label. The system platform has its own restrictions on the maximum length of the file name. When the length of the device label exceeds 32 characters, only the first 32 characters are used in the file name.
- After a maintenance tag is added to a device, the "Maintaining" tag will be added to the device label. The tag only indicates that a maintenance tag has been added to the device, and has nothing to do with the description of the maintenance tag.
- After you modify the SSH, Telnet, or SNMP parameters for a device by selecting parameters from an existing template, you can manually edit the SSH, Telnet, or SNMP parameters for the device next time without affecting the selected template.
- When you configure the informs or traps for SNMPv3, the engine ID (engineID) used is a hexadecimal string 800063A2800123456789ABCDEF0123.
- When using the topology location feature, choose the option to always allow pop-ups when prompted.
- For the device-related messages to be correctly displayed in the message box, make sure the device label is not too long.
- If you select a combination of authentication options from the Authentication Mode list, the authentication succeeds as long as one of the options is correctly provided. For example, if you select Password + Private Key + Super Password for Authentication Mode, the authentication succeeds when a correct password is provided even though both the private key and super password are incorrect.
- IPv6 devices do not display the Telnet menu. To access an IPv6 device, use the Telnet/SSH proxy function.
- Do not enter special characters in the device label and tagging tasks, otherwise problems such as incorrect display may occur.
- Aruba 2930M/F switch series do not support the VPN instance name setting for the alarm host. VPN instance name information will be automatically removed from the deployed alarm host configuration for the switch series.
- To avoid garbled ping output when the ping output contains Chinese characters, make sure the operating system uses the GBK character set.
