Management levels available for each asset category
Entuity manages devices using one of the following management levels. The management interface of all devices under Entuity management must be available to ICMP ping. Entuity uses ping information to calculate reachability and latency information for the device. When the management interface has ping disabled, Entuity reports latency and reachability as Unknown.
Device management levels:
There are 2 overall management levels, and then there are further options within these:
- Full - Entuity fully manages the device. This equates to the Full device license option.
When you select Full management, you can then choose a port management option:- All Ports - Entuity fully manages the device and all its ports.
- Management Port Only - Entuity fully manages the device, but only manages the management interface.
- No Ports - Entuity fully manages the device, but does not maintain any port-level information.
- Basic - there are two options for the Basic management level. This equates to the Basic device license option.
- Basic SNMP - Entuity collects only basic system information and the full IP address table via SNMP. This management level is used in the following cases:
- when Entuity does not have the appropriate vendor file.
- when Entuity cannot generate an appropriate file.
- when you only want the device placed under basic management.
- Ping Only - Entuity does not collect SNMP data for these devices. It only reports whether these devices respond to ICMP ping.
- Basic SNMP - Entuity collects only basic system information and the full IP address table via SNMP. This management level is used in the following cases:
Management levels available for each asset category:
Specific port management and Basic device management are only applicable to network devices. All other asset categories require full management. Device management level is set when adding the network device, but can be modified after the device has been added.
