Add a Device Attribute to a Managed Device

Single Device

To add a device attribute directly to a single managed device follow the steps below.

1. Log in to Netreo as a user with the at least the Administrator access level.
2. Locate the managed device to which you would like to add a device attribute and open its Device Dashboard.
3. Select the gear icon at the top right of the Device Dashboard to switch to the administrative view.
4. Select the Attributes tab.
5. In the Attributes table:
   1. If there are no empty attribute rows in the table, select the add icon (+) to add a new row.
   2. In the NAME column enter a name for your attribute.
   3. In the VALUE column enter the value for that attribute.
   4. Select Apply Changes.

The device attribute is now available on the device for use.

If using device attributes in auto-configuration rules, you may need to initiate a discovery poll for the device.

2. From the main menu select Administration > Change Devices > Edit/Add Device Attributes to open the Device Attributes page.
3. Select the functional group that contains the managed devices to which you would like to add a device attribute.
4. In the table that appears, place a checkmark next to the names of the desired devices to select them. (You may use the search box to filter the devices displayed in the table.)
5. In the Attributes table:

   2. In the text box in the VALUE column enter a value for the device attribute.
