Viewing unmanaged appliances
The Unmanaged Appliances report enables you to export a list of unmanaged appliances using email or a URL.
The Unmanaged Appliances report provides an efficient way to assess the inventory of devices discovered by the SCC in large environments where only a select number of SteelHeads are managed by the SCC. It also enables you to separate the unmanaged devices that you might want to eventually manage from other devices that are owned by different groups, departments, or divisions within the enterprise so that you can assign them to a specific group in the SCC.
The Unmanaged Appliance report:
• collects peer and neighbor information during maintenance windows. If a maintenance window is rescheduled and the new window is less than one hour than the current window, the data will be updated the next day.
• provides a list of all connected/HTTP and disconnected appliances.
If any peer is not found in the connected appliances list, it is added to the list of unmanaged appliances.
For unmanaged appliances, the report doesn’t determine whether it’s managed by another SCC or managed by none.
The Unmanaged Appliances table lists these attributes for each appliance. You can use the filter option to search for the rows in the Unmanaged Appliances table where the cell entry is a string.
Hostname | IP address | Model | Version | Peer/neighbor | Peer/neighbor To |
vsh-334 | 10.5.160.134 | VCX | 9.2.0 | peer | vsh-580 |
vsh-335 | 10.5.160.140 | VCX | 9.5.0 | peer | sh-23 |
vsh-861 | 10.5.160.130 | — | — | neighbor | sh-23 |
The Unmanaged Appliance table has these restrictions:
• If the SCC registered appliance is a SteelHead, SteelHead EX, or SteelFusion Edge neighbor, the IP address and hostname is displayed.
• If the SCC registered appliance is an Interceptor peer, the IP address, hostname, and version is displayed.
