Devices List Column Definitions

  • Device View — Place the cursor over the first column and select the icon to open a Device View that provides analysis and troubleshooting information for the selected device, including device summary, FlexView, and ExtremeCloud IQ Site Engine historical data. You must have historical statistic collection enabled for the device to see data for the full range of available reports. For more information, see Collect Device Statistics.
  • Device Status — This column, hidden by default, indicates whether there is contact with the device. The color of the circle indicates the degree to which the device is communicating. A green icon indicates there is contact with the device. A yellow icon indicates there are issues with contact to the device. A red icon indicates there is no contact with the device. Hover over the Device Status icon to view additional details about the status for that device.
  • Status — Indicates the alarm/device status for the device.
    • (Green) Up — Up with no alarms.
    • Critical Alarm Severity (Red) Critical — Down or having alarms with significant implications.
    • Error Alarm Severity (Orange) Error — A problem with limited implications.
    • Warning Alarm Severity (Yellow) Warning — Up, but with an alarm that might lead to a problem.
    • Info Alarm Severity (Blue) Info — Information only; not a problem.

      • Place the cursor over the status icon to view the number of alarms. Select the alarm/device status icon to open a new page with detailed information about the alarms for that device.
  • Device ID — This column, hidden by default, displays a number that serves as a database identifier automatically created for the device. This number increments as you add additional devices.
  • Name — The device name or nickname, or IP address. Select the link to open an Interface Summary FlexView for the device.
  • Poll Type — This column, hidden by default, indicates the poll type ExtremeCloud IQ Site Engine uses to discover devices: SNMP, Ping or Not Polled.
  • Poll Group Name — This column, hidden by default, indicates the name of the Poll Group you define in the Poll Groups section of the Status Polling options.
  • Admin Profile — This column, hidden by default, indicates the access Profile that gives ExtremeCloud IQ Site Engine administrative access to the device.
  • Client Profile — This column, hidden by default, indicates the access Profile that gives ExtremeCloud IQ Site Engine client access to the device.
  • IP Address — The device IP address. This column is hidden by default.
  • Context — The Context column, hidden by default, displays a string that indicates how the device behaves, depending on whether the device is a router or a switch.
  • IP Context — The IP Context column, hidden by default, displays a device's IP address with the context appended to the end of the address following a colon.
  • Trap Status — Indicates whether a trap receiver is configured, not configured, or not supported for the device.
  • Syslog Status — Indicates whether the device is configured to send information to the syslog or if it is not supported for the device.
  • Display Name — The IP address of the device. This column is hidden by default.
  • Device Type — The type of device.
  • Family — The device product family.
  • Firmware — The revision for the firmware running in the device.
  • Connector — Displays the connector version running on the ZTP+ device.
  • XIQ Onboarded — Displays whether the device is onboarded to ExtremeCloud IQ to be locally managed by ExtremeCloud IQ Site Engine:
    1. Black check mark - Indicates that the device is onboarded to ExtremeCloud IQ..

       NOTES:

      Devices with IPv6 addresses in ExtremeCloud IQ Site Engine will not be onboarded as locally-managed devices in ExtremeCloud IQ. Only devices with IPv4 addresses qualify.

    2. Red X - Indicates the device is onboarded but Unmanaged, which means it is not using a license, it has read-only device-level support, and available features in ExtremeCloud IQ Site Engine are limited. Other functionality, including Status Polling, Historical Device + Port Statistics Collection, Existing Scheduled Tasks, and Archives, are supported for devices with Unmanaged status, but these devices cannot be configured for new tasks or new archives.

       NOTES:

      In ExtremeCloud IQ Site Engine version 24.02.12, only use ExtremeCloud IQ to set an ExtremeCloud IQ Site Engine onboarded device to Unmanaged as a temporary measure while you obtain more licenses.

      If you mark a device as Unmanaged so it does not trigger a license limit violation, you can then access ExtremeCloud IQ Site Engine and delete the device before the license violation occurs.

      You can perform an enforce for an ExtremeControl engine with an Unmanaged status; however, if the device has an Unmanaged status, then the enforce does not reconfigure the device and changes are not written to the device.

      When devices are marked as Unmanaged in ExtremeCloud IQ, they are also Unmanaged in ExtremeCloud IQ Site Engine.

      In addition, existing ExtremeAnalytics functionality for devices with an Unmanaged status is still supported, but only with existing configuration.

    3. Blank - Indicates the device is not successfully onboarded to ExtremeCloud IQ from the ExtremeCloud IQ Site Engine because either it is already onboarded to ExtremeCloud IQ (either from another ExtremeCloud IQ Site Engine or by using the IQ Agent to connect directly), or because ExtremeCloud IQ Site Engine lost its connection to ExtremeCloud IQ.  
       NOTE:If a device's status is Blank, it has limited features available in ExtremeCloud IQ Site Engine because management of the device is owned by ExtremeCloud IQ.

    4. N/A - Indicates the device is not eligible to be onboarded to ExtremeCloud IQ because it does not have a valid serial number or MAC address, or Extreme does not yet offer onboarding support for the device.

       NOTE:If ExtremeCloud IQ Site Engine does not recognize a device’s serial number or MAC address, right-click on the device and select Rediscover to attempt to discover the device’s serial number or MAC address. After the device's serial number or MAC address is discovered, it can be onboarded to ExtremeCloud IQ during the next onboarding cycle.
  • License — Reflects the license of the device.
    • In Air Gap mode, this is the license type that ExtremeCloud IQ Site Engine is currently using for the device.
    • In Connected mode, this is the license type that ExtremeCloud IQ Site Engine requested from ExtremeCloud IQ, not the license type that ExtremeCloud IQ could activate. For example, when ExtremeCloud IQ Site Engine onboards a device that requires a Navigator license, but ExtremeCloud IQ has no more Navigator licenses available, ExtremeCloud IQ activates a Pilot license for the device. However, ExtremeCloud IQ Site Engine will still show the required license type as Navigator.
    • Values:
      • Do Not Onboard - Device can't be onboarded to ExtremeCloud IQ
      • Navigator - See licensing
      • No Access - The device does not have an access profile assigned
      • Pending - The device is waiting for the license agreement
      • Pilot - See licensing
      • Ping Only - The device was added to the database with a Ping Only profile
      • Status Only - The device was added to the database as Monitor Status Only
      • Unmanaged - The device is unmanaged
  • Updates — The firmware release status for the device according to the results from the latest Check for Firmware Updates operation. Place your cursor on the column to see a tooltip describing the status.
    • Firmware Up To Date — The device is running the latest release of firmware.
    • New Firmware Release Available — There is a new release of firmware available for this device. Select the Menu icon () or right-click the icon and select More Actions > View Available Firmware Releases to open a window listing the current firmware releases available with links to download the firmware.
    • Device does not support Firmware Updates feature — This device does not support the Check for Firmware Updates feature.
  • Policy Domain — The policy domain assigned to the device.
  • BootPROM — The revision for the BootPROM installed on the device.
  • Base MAC — The base MAC address for the device.
  • Serial Number — The serial number for the device.
  • Stats — Displays whether statistics collection is enabled or disabled on the device. A black check mark indicates that historical collection is enabled, a blue check mark indicates that threshold alarms collection (formerly monitor collection) is enabled.

  • Description — A description of the device.
  • SDWAN Neighbors — The comma-separated list of SDWAN appliances neighboring the SNMP-managed VOSS/Fabric Engine device. The list entry contains both IP address and S/N. The SDWAN appliance must be from Extreme Networks. This column is hidden by default.
