  • Devices: The broadest information category, includes five distinct subcategories to allow for more-specific exploration: Infrastructure Devices, Device Components, Connected End Hosts (client systems connected to access ports on switches, for example), Connected IP Phones, and All Devices. For more information, see Viewing Devices.
  • Virtual Devices: All network infrastructure devices discovered by NetMRI that possess virtualization capabilities. Each device in this category hosts one or more virtual device contexts, which are virtual machine-based switches, firewalls, and routers housed by each virtual host. For more information, see Viewing Virtual Device Contexts.
  • Interfaces: A listing of all network interfaces, divided into four functional categories: Interface Config, Unused Down Ports, Unused Up Ports, and Recently Changed Ports. For more information, see Viewing Network Interfaces.
  • OSs: Counts of operating systems and OS versions from all devices discovered and cataloged by NetMRI. For more information, see Viewing Network Operating Systems.
  • Models: Counts of all hardware models discovered and cataloged by NetMRI. For more information, see Viewing Network Device Models.

The Inventory tab (Network Explorer –> Inventory tab) provides basic information about four key categories of network elements managed by NetMRI: Devices, interfaces, operating systems, and device models discovered in the network. From here, you drill down to features such as the Device Viewer to inspect details about individual devices and their current states.

Network Explorer supports the use of custom data fields for adding additional data to tables of information about network inventory. For more information, see Defining and Using Custom Fields.

During discovery, the devices count listed in the Select Device Groups panel may differ from the number of devices displayed in the center table. The table displays current data about the discovery process, but the Select Device Groups panel is only updated periodically.
