Device general attributes

Attribute Description Device Type
BGP Identifier each router running BGP must have a BGP identifier. This identifier is included in the BGP identifier field of open messages, which are sent between two BGP peers when establishing a BGP session. all
BGP Local AS local AS of the device. all
Certified Entuity certifies the device model used to manage this device type. all
Configuration Transfer Server the IP address of the server to receive files  is set in entuity.cfg
(tftpServerIp) and shared by all transfer methods. Through this attribute, administrators can override this IP address on a per device basis, for example when the Entuity server has multiple IP addresses.		  
Configuration Retrieval Number of Archives number of archived configurations retained by Entuity. By default this is four, i.e. four startup and four running configurations, although it is configurable. These configurations are retrieved by Configuration Monitor. all
Description manufacturers' device description. all
Device Type Entuity manages devices through the Device Type, e.g. Router, Switch. Devices managed through the VM Platform device type require specific connection details. all
Location text description of the physical location of the device that is contained on the device, e.g. Development Cabinet. all
Management Level Full - Entuity fully manages the device and all of its interfaces.
Full (Mgmt Port Only) - (ENA v17.0 P08 upwards) Entuity fully manages the device but only manages the management interface.
Full Management (No Ports) - Entuity fully manages the device but does not maintain any port level information.
Basic - Entuity collects only basic system information and the full IP address table via SNMP. This management level is used when Entuity does not have the appropriate vendor file, cannot generate an appropriate file or 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.		 all
Management MAC Address MAC address of this device. all
Manufacturer manufacturer name and is derived by matching the manufacturer number against the first 2500 Private Enterprise Codes compiled by the Internet Assigned Numbers Authority (http://www.iana.org/assignments/enterprisenumbers). Where the manufacturer code is not matched then the first part of the device name is taken, usually this is the manufacturer’s name. all
Model device model. all
Name name of the device. all
OSPF Admin Status (AS) the status of an OSPF interface defines whether routes and/or OSPF protocol packets are propagated over the interface. Status may be active, passive, or off. all
OSPF Area Border Router identifies the router as one with interfaces in different areas but within the same autonomous system. By collecting mapping information from these area this router can calculate the shortest distances between points. all
OSPF Autonomous System Border Router identifies the router as an Autonomous System Border Router, which acts as a gateway between OSPF and external routes. It is these routers that propagate routes to external networks. all
OSPF Router ID the unique identifier for the router as defined by the OSPF router-id command or the address of the loopback 0 interface. all
OSPF TOS Support indicates whether the router supports TOS. all
Poll Status status of Entuity SNMP polling of the device, i.e. Polling, Non-Polling. all
Polled Device Name name that Entuity uses to poll the device. all
Polled IP Address management IP address of the device. all
Power Consumption estimated power consumption of the device. all
Serial Number device serial number. all
StormWorks ID internal identifier of the object. all
System Capabilities indicates the device capabilities, i.e. None, Unknown, Routing, Routing and Switching. routers, switches, PoE
System Description textual description of the chassis hardware. This value should include the full name and version identification of the system's hardware and copyright information. all
System Name administratively-assigned name for the chassis. By convention, this is the node's fully-qualified domain name. all
System Object ID manufacturer's authoritative identification of the chassis object identifier. all
System Services set of services that the chassis primarily offers.  
Version device version number. all
Watts status of the module, i.e. OK, Standby, Unknown, Other, Minor Alarm, Major Alarm, or Down. all
XML Data Collection when set to True, XML Data Collection is enabled on the device. Entuity XML API currently retrieves the MAC addresses and interface names from the Nexus range of Cisco devices. Credential sets must also be defined for successful XML data collection. all
