on all the devices in the current inventory file.

your inventory file. The sub-groups are:
■ Device Types — if your inventory contained 3Com SuperStack

The device type name is shortened to make navigating the tree more
convenient. For example, '3Com SuperStack 3 Switch 4900' is shortened
to 'Switch 4900'. All sub-groups listed under the 'Device Types' group are
sorted alphabetically, then numerically.
