Device Category Form

[This is the Context-Sensitive Help topic for the Device Profiles: Device Profile: Device Category form.]

The Device Category attribute value indicates the category of this device; for example, router, switch, or printer. This attribute:

In Map views, determines which background shape NNMi uses for the icon representing devices of this type.
In table views, the category value can be used when sorting/filtering the Category column.
During discovery, NNMi behavior changes based on the device category. For example, routers and switches are discovered by default.
NNMi monitoring behavior can be configured differently for each category.
Membership in a Node Group can be determined by device category.

This form is accessed from the Device Profile Form.

Alpha-numeric characters and periods are permitted. Spaces are not permitted.
Icon	Displays the icon that is associated with the Device Category. If you are an NNMi administrator, you can customize the icon. See Customize Device Profile Icons for more information.
