  • Vendor: The equipment manufacturer.

  • Model: The vendor model number of each device in the network.

  • Serial Number: The manufacturer serial number for each device.

  • Description: The device description is typically burned into the software ROM of each device.

  • Last Seen: The timestamp of the last successful poll of the device, or the last time the device was seen on the network by other means such as through a device's ARP table. You can also choose to display the First Seen data column, which is the timestamp of the moment when the device was first detected by the appliance.

  • Last Changed: The timestamp when the last changes were performed on the device. Clicking on the IP address hyperlink for any device in the table displays the Device Viewer.
