Using the Device List
The Device List tab on the Device Catalog screen displays a list of devices known to OmniVista Cirrus 10.
There are three device lists available to view from this screen:
All - Displays a list of all devices (Access Points and Switches).
AP - Displays a list of Access Points.
Switch - Displays a list of Switches.
By default, all devices are listed. Click on All, AP, or Switch to view the related device list.
From this screen, you can perform any of the following actions:
Select the Device List View
The Device List provides the following dedicated views for Device List information:
Basic - Displays the overall configuration for each device.
Configuration - Displays configuration information for your OmniSwitch devices and allows you to manage Golden Configuration settings and perform auditing functions.
Connectivity - Displays specific management connectivity information for each device.
License - Displays license information, such as license type and status, for each device.
Model & Firmware - Displays the model number and firmware version for each device.
Each Device List view also displays a summary of statistics counters for analytics purposes. In addition, the icons provided under the “Actions” column vary based on the theme of the view.
The OmniVista Cirrus 10 polling interval is once an hour to collect switch information. If some information appears out of date, wait until the next polling interval.
By default, the Connectivity Device List view is displayed. To display a different view, select the Device List view you want to use from the drop-down menu.

LED Mode (AP only) - The LED Mode configured for the Access Point.
Normal Mode (Default) - The LED displays in normal mode (Red/Green/Blue).
Night Mode - The LED indicator is shut off.
Blink Mode - LED alternately blinks Red/Green/Blue so that you can visually locate the AP(s).

If a schedule is specified, the device is updated only during the time window of the schedule.
If this field is blank, the device is updated on the next call home.
Desired Software - The "Desired Software Version" version configured for the device. The field will display the software version configured or "Do Not Upgrade".
Last Updated - The date and time the device was last updated.

Running From (Switch only) - Indicates whether the switch is running from the Certified directory or from the Working directory. The directory structure that stores the Switch image and configuration files in flash memory is divided into two parts:
The Certified directory contains files that have been certified by an authorized user as the default configuration files for the switch. When the switch reboots, it will automatically load its configuration files from the certified directory if the switch detects a difference between the certified directory and the working directory.
The Working directory contains files that may or may not have been altered from those in the certified directory. The working directory is a holding place for new files to be tested before committing the files to the certified directory. You can save configuration changes to the working directory. You cannot save configuration changes directly to the certified directory.
VC Name (Switch only) - If the Switch is participating in a Virtual Chassis (VC) configuration, this field displays the name of the VC configuration.
Changes - Indicates the state of changes made to the device configuration. This field can display the following values:
Certified - Changes were saved to the working directory, and the working directory was copied to the certified directory. The working directory and the certified directory are thus identical.
Uncertified - Changes were saved to the working directory, but the working directory was not copied to the certified directory. The working directory and the certified directory are thus different.
Unsaved - Changes were made to the running configuration of the device, but the changes were not saved to the working directory. For Stellar APs, an unsaved configuration may not be an issue because when APs reboot, they always receive and build their configuration from OmniVista. Saving the configuration on Stellar APs is helpful if an AP reboots and OmniVista is not reachable. In this case, APs use the previously saved configuration.
Blank - When this field is blank, the implication is that OmniVista knows of no unsaved configuration changes and assumes that the working and certified directories in flash memory are identical.
Flash Synchronized Status (Switch only) - Whether the Primary CMM's working directory is identical to the working directory on the other CMM module (if present).
Synchronized - The primary CMM's working directory is identical to the working directory on the secondary CMM. Note that if a switch is in Virtual Chassis (VC) mode, and it is VC of 1, the Synchronized Status is always "Synchronized".
Not Synchronized - The primary CMM's working directory is not identical to the working directory on the secondary CMM.
Not Applicable - Only one CMM module is installed.
Unknown - The synchronization state is unknown.

Unsaved - Changes were made to the running configuration of the device, but the changes were not saved to the working directory. For Stellar APs, an unsaved configuration may not be an issue because when APs reboot, they always receive and build their configuration from OmniVista. Saving the configuration on Stellar APs is helpful if an AP reboots and OmniVista is not reachable. In this case, APs use the previously saved configuration.

Running From (Switch only) - Indicates whether the switch is running from the Certified directory or from the Working directory. The directory structure that stores the Switch image and configuration files in flash memory is divided into two parts:
The Certified directory contains files that have been certified by an authorized user as the default configuration files for the switch. When the switch reboots, it will automatically load its configuration files from the certified directory if the switch detects a difference between the certified directory and the working directory.
The Working directory contains files that may or may not have been altered from those in the certified directory. The working directory is a holding place for new files to be tested before committing the files to the certified directory. You can save configuration changes to the working directory.

Certified - Changes were saved to the working directory, and the working directory was copied to the certified directory. The working directory and the certified directory are thus identical.
Uncertified - Changes were saved to the working directory, but the working directory was not copied to the certified directory. The working directory and the certified directory are thus different.
Unsaved - Changes were made to the running configuration of the device, but the changes were not saved to the working directory. For Stellar APs, an unsaved configuration may not be an issue because when APs reboot, they always receive and build their configuration from OmniVista. Saving the configuration on Stellar APs is helpful if an AP reboots and OmniVista is not reachable. In this case, APs use the previously saved configuration.
Blank - When this field is blank, the implication is that OmniVista knows of no unsaved configuration changes and assumes that the working and certified directories in flash memory are identical.
Flash Synchronized Status (Switch only) - Whether the Primary CMM's working directory is identical to the working directory on the other CMM module (if present).
Synchronized - The primary CMM's working directory is identical to the working directory on the secondary CMM. Note that if a switch is in Virtual Chassis (VC) mode, and it is VC of 1, the Synchronized Status is always "Synchronized".
Not Synchronized - The primary CMM's working directory is not identical to the working directory on the secondary CMM.
Not Applicable - Only one CMM module is installed.
Unknown - The synchronization state is unknown.
