What does AutoDiscovery use for the manufacturer information printed on the device detail report? What is used for the device description field?

0

AutoDiscovery uses each device’s SNMP sysObjectID value to identify the SNMP enterprise value, which is shown in the Manufacturer field on printed reports. The VNE shape’s description value is displayed in the Device Description field. In some cases, the enterprise identified by the sysObjectID value is a company that has been acquired or has licensed technology to another manufacturer. In these cases, you may see a manufacturer that does not match the name on the network device.
