Difference between Vendor and Device Templates
Home » FAQ » Difference between Vendor and Device Templates

How do Vendor Templates differ from Device/Interface Templates ?

  • Apart from the Device Templates, OpManager contains 53000+ Vendor Templates. These templates hold predefined SysOID and Vendor name. 
  • During device discovery, if OpManager couldn't identify a matching device template, it will try to find a matching vendor template.
  • If a matching vendor template is found, OpManager creates a custom template automatically with the name <Vendor Name>(Space)Device.
  • This custom template can be found under Settings -> Configuration -> Device Template -> Custom
