The Device Viewer's Device/Network Explorer section (Device Viewer –> > Device/Network Explorer) shows a substantial body of critical information about a selected device relative to other network elements. Device/Network Explorer conveys many details about the relative location of the device in the network, and aspects of its operating state. The "location" of the device is described by its SNMP identity, with many other pieces of information about the network switch, router, or other entity.
...
The Router section (Device Viewer –> > Router section) provides protocol and connectivity information for the router or switch/router currently displayed in the Device Viewer, including the complete routing table, information on any dynamic routing protocols the device is running, ARP (IPv4) and Neighbor Discovery records (IPv6). All tables in this category apply for devices supporting both IPv4 and IPv6.

- For VRF-ignorant devices, this page shows a Management Network View drop-down menu. The list shows all network views for the device's associated Collector or standalone NetMRI appliance, that each has an assigned scan interface. You may see multiple network views. In cases of this type, possible route-leaking may be taking place from other VRF-aware devices that makes it possible for the current device to be managed from within two or more VRFs; though the device is VRF-ignorant, you can choose the network for which you consider the device to be a member for management purposes.
- If the NetMRI appliance manages only one network, the Management Network View drop-down will not appear.
- When the selected device in the Device Viewer is configured to allow only one of its interfaces as its management address, the Management Address drop-down will not appear. Therefore, it is possible for a device to show neither menu , or to show both.
SysAdmin users can also change a device management IP using the change_device_management_ip API call. For example: your_NetMRI_URI/api/docs#change_device_management_ip. For more information, refer to the online NetMRI API documentation.
