Searching the Help
To search for information in the Help, type a word or phrase in the Search box. When you enter a group of words, OR is inferred. You can use Boolean operators to refine your search.
Results returned are case insensitive. However, results ranking takes case into account and assigns higher scores to case matches. Therefore, a search for "cats" followed by a search for "Cats" would return the same number of Help topics, but the order in which the topics are listed would be different.
Search for | Example | Results |
---|---|---|
A single word | cat
|
Topics that contain the word "cat". You will also find its grammatical variations, such as "cats". |
A phrase. You can specify that the search results contain a specific phrase. |
"cat food" (quotation marks) |
Topics that contain the literal phrase "cat food" and all its grammatical variations. Without the quotation marks, the query is equivalent to specifying an OR operator, which finds topics with one of the individual words instead of the phrase. |
Search for | Operator | Example |
---|---|---|
Two or more words in the same topic |
|
|
Either word in a topic |
|
|
Topics that do not contain a specific word or phrase |
|
|
Topics that contain one string and do not contain another | ^ (caret) |
cat ^ mouse
|
A combination of search types | ( ) parentheses |
|
Device Family Form
[This is the Context-Sensitive Help topic for the Device Profiles: Device Profile: Device Family form.]
The Device Family attribute value indicates the family name assigned by the vendor when the device was manufactured; for example, the Cisco Catalyst 6500 Series Switches.
- NNMi monitoring behavior can be configured differently for each family.
- Membership in a Node Group can be determined by device family.
This form is accessed from the Device Profile Form.
Attribute | Description |
---|---|
Label |

Unique Key |
The required unique identifier that is important when exporting and importing device profile information within NNMi. The value must be unique. One possible strategy is to use the Java name space convention. For example:
Maximum length is 80 characters. Alpha-numeric characters and periods are permitted. Spaces are not permitted. |
Management URL |
Optional. The URL to the device's management page (provided by the vendor). This page is used to provide configuration information for the device and is usually organized by device family. |
