The New Devices table lists the subset of switching network devices that have been discovered by NetMRI during the displayed measurement period. By default, the table is sorted in ascending order by the Device Name. These devices are not yet considered to be actively managed by NetMRI.

The default data set includes the following:

• Action icon: Provides the Action menu with View Device History, Open Telnet Session, Open SSH Session, and Topology Viewer options.

• Device Name: The configured name of the device. By default, this column sorts the New Devices page in ascending order.

• IP Address: The host IP address of the network device (live link to the Device Viewer).

• Total Ports: The number of switched Ethernet ports for each device most recently discovered by NetMRI and cataloged in Switch Port Management.

• Used Trunks: The number of trunk ports used in the switched Ethernet ports.

• Used Access: The number of access ports used in the switched Ethernet ports.

• Free Ports: The count of ports most recently polled that show a link state of Down when the device was discovered, having previously lost connectivity.

• Available Ports: The count of ports that remained in a link state of Down for more than the prescribed time period; when a port is considered available, it can be deemed available for other network resources.

• Available Ports %: The percentage of all managed switch ports appearing as Available.

• PoE Ports: Count of Cisco switched Ethernet ports running the Power over Ethernet switching protocol for IP telephony applications.

Devices are removed from New Devices and join Devices Present at the conclusion of the next polling process.
