Device Management page enhancements

A new user interface has been introduced for the Device Management page, providing improved usability and enhanced performance.

Navigation: Devices > Device Management

Enable the New Device Management UI toggle button to switch between the legacy and the enhanced Device Management page.

Note

The enhanced user interface is in a preliminary stage and does not include all the legacy user interface features. You can switch back to the legacy Device Management user interface by clicking the same toggle button to access the features that are not yet supported in the new user interface.

Key enhancements in the new user interface:

  • Improved search functionality: Provides a more powerful and granular search experience. Unlike the legacy user interface, which was limited to searching by device name, host name, or IP address, you can now use multiple device-related criteria, to achieve highly refined results.

  • Device status banner: A status banner at the top of the Device Management page displays the number of devices in various states (Normal, Error, Offline). A color-coded legend dynamically reflects these statuses for at-a-glance monitoring.

  • Performance improvements: The enhanced user interface page loads faster than the legacy version. Pagination has been introduced at the bottom of the page, with each page supporting up to 1,000 devices by default.

  • Device actions and bulk operations: Details of selected devices are displayed on a side panel in a more user-friendly format. Multiple devices can be selected simultaneously enabling device bulk actions from a centralized location.

  • Centralized troubleshooting panel: Troubleshooting information has been consolidated into a single pane under Troubleshooting tools, making it easier to access diagnostic tools such as Packet Tracer and Packet Capture.
