About the Device Tab

You can view information (such as the hostname, IP address, and type) about the devices in the network in the Device tab of the network table (Observability > Network > Topology > Device). Table 1 provides information on the fields in the Device tab.

You can also perform various actions on the devices from this tab. To perform common actions such as filtering using advanced filter criteria, downloading device details, and resetting preferences, see Network Table Overview.
