Configure Device Family Icons

NNMi enables you to customize the icons associated with a Device Profile or specific Nodes. These icons appear in views, menu items, and as foreground images on an NNMi topology map.

You can specify image icons for a specific Node, Device Family, Device Vendor, or Device Category. NNMi determines the icon image to user per node in the following order of precedence:
