Adding devices

The inventory is the heart of the app. Add each device once, and every session, template and batch run references it.

1. 1Open Devices and click “Add device”.
2. 2Fill in the basics: name, host (IP or DNS), port (22 for SSH, 23 for Telnet) and username.
3. 3Choose the authentication: password or private key (stored encrypted in the OS keychain, with optional passphrase).
4. 4Pick the protocol — SSH or Telnet — and the device type (router, switch, server, firewall, access point, OLT…).
5. 5The device type matters: network gear runs commands through an interactive shell with prompt detection, exactly like typing by hand — so switches and routers “just work”.
6. 6To reuse credentials stored in Users, switch the authentication to “Saved user” — the username and secret come from the profile, so you never retype them.
7. 7Optional: tags, group, vendor/model/location keep a large fleet searchable and filterable.
