All Device Viewer windows provide a special Device Actions icon at the top. Click this icon for a menu offering useful tools for viewing related information about the chosen device.

  • Tools: Run Ping/Traceroute, SNMP Walk, Cisco Command (where appropriate), or run Discovery Diagnostic against the selected device.

  • Topology Viewer: Display the topology in which the selected device resides, based on L2 or L3 characteristics of the network. The Topology appears in a separate popup window.

The Device Viewer organizes information about the currently displayed device in the following sections of its accordion menu (some of these sections may only appear for certain device types):

  • Network Analysis: section provides.

  • Device/Network Explorer: This section provides networking information associated with the current device, including Device Identification, Device Location, Component Inventory, Open Services, CDP Neighbors, L2/L3 neighboring interfaces (Neighbors), Custom Data, LLDP neighbors, and Device History, which lists the Discovery history for the device.

  • Interfaces: Provides configuration information, the address table, and performance statistics.

  • Router: Provides router-specific information.

  • Switch: Provides switch-specific information.

  • Settings & Status: Displays device general settings, management status, SNMP credentials, CLI credentials, configuration file collection settings, logs, and device support information.

To check the license status of any device (whether the device shown in the Device Viewer counts against the license limits for the NetMRI appliance), go to the Device Support page (Device Viewer > Settings & Status > Device Support).
