Viewing the Device Inventory Page in Device View of Connectivity Services Director

The Device Inventory page lists devices managed by Connectivity Services Director and provides basic information about the devices, such as IP address and current operating status. The Device Inventory page is available in Build and Deploy mode and is the default landing page for Build mode.

The scope you have selected in the View pane and the network view that you have selected from the View selector determines which devices are listed in the Device Inventory page. For example:

  • If you are in the Device View and select My Network, all devices managed by Connectivity Services Director are listed.

The Device Inventory page provides three pie charts that summarize the status of the devices in your selected scope:

  • Devices by Family—Indicates the proportion of devices in each device family.

  • Connection State—Shows the proportion of devices that are up or down. In this chart, Virtual Chassis count as one device.

  • Configuration State—Shows the proportion of devices in each configuration state. See the Config State entry in Table 1 for definitions of the configuration states.

Mouse over a pie segment to view the actual number of devices and the percentage represented by that pie segment.

Table 1 describes the fields in the Device Inventory table.

  • N/A—The device is down or is an access point.
