Adding a device based on an unknown device node on the network interactions map

While managing the network interactions map, you can add a new device to the table of devices based on the node that represents the device that the application does not recognize.

To add an unrecognized device node to the table of devices:

  1. Select the Network map section in the application web interface window.
  2. On the Network interactions map tab, select the node representing the device that the application does not recognize.

    The details area is displayed in the right part of the web interface window.

    2. In the DHCP relay drop-down list, select Yes if the device is a DHCP relay.

      In learning mode, for devices that are DHCP servers and DHCP relays, these attributes are assigned automatically. You can disable automatic update of attributes (see step 6 of these instructions).

      In monitoring mode, only users with the Senior security officer role can edit attributes.

    4. The IP address and MAC address fields are filled in automatically; we do not recommend changing these settings.
