Hostname(s), ICMP Ping Device(s), Manage ICMP-only Device(s), or Manage
Unclassified Device(s). This last checkbox determines whether NMS200 attempts to
manage devices that have no NMS200 device driver installed. If your system’s license
permits it, such management may be possible, but more limited than for devices with drivers
installed.
CAUTION:
If your license limits the number of devices you manage, discovering such
“generic” devices may count against that limit.
