Qualifications for managed devices

The following tables list the items on an actual device that need special attention. You
should check these items to make sure that the actual device matches its corresponding
placeholder device in SiteConfig. If the actual device is not connected/configured as
specified, change the placeholder device. When the placeholder device and the actual
device match, the device is qualified to be discovered and managed by SiteConfig.

Typically on an actual device, the rear panel Ethernet port numbering starts with the
number one, while in SiteConfig network interface numbering is zero-based, as follows:

Rear panel connector on device

SiteConfig network interface

Port 1

Ethernet 0

Port 2

Ethernet 1

Port 3

Ethernet 2

Port 4

Ethernet 3

Keep this in mind as you compare network connections.
