Device Configuration

Configure a device across its property tabs.

Relevant for:Professional ServicesEnterprise / NetOps

Select any device on the canvas to open its properties panel. Configuration is organized into tabs — the same tabs in the same order on every device (and on Site Areas), so a setting always lives where you expect it:

GeneralIdentity: hostname, model, serial/asset, rack & location, site membership.
InterfacesPhysical port settings: speed, duplex, MTU, negotiation, load-interval, ACL/flow/QoS bindings, storm control, port security, CDP/LLDP per port.
L2VLANs, spanning tree, port-channels, switchports, SVIs.
L3Routed interfaces, VRFs, OSPF, BGP, static routes with IP SLA tracking.
FeaturesNamed objects: ACLs, prefix-lists, route-maps, QoS policies, NetFlow monitors.
ManagementThe management plane: DNS, AAA (TACACS+/RADIUS), password policy, NTP, console/VTY lines, CDP/LLDP, local users.
MonitoringSNMP (v2c/v3) and Syslog.
FirewallZones and security policy (firewall roles).
TemplateBind an organization config template as the device baseline.
AdvancedLogin banner and raw additional CLI.
Note
Tabs adapt to the device role — an L2-only access switch hides L3 routing, a firewall shows the Firewall tab, Azure resources show an Azure tab. Anything a platform cannot render is omitted from its generated config and flagged by validation rather than silently invented.

Fields left blank fall back to inherited values— from the device's Site Area, then project-wide defaults — shown as placeholder text with an “inherited” hint. Type a value to override for that device only.
