Add bookmarks to your most visited sections in Device42 for easier access. For example: If you have certain filtered lists – you can now bookmark that list and access it from your menu bar.

Export from List View

You can now export filtered items for a list to a csv file. Please note that this is same output as Tools > Exports and will be limited to selected items in the list. Please use Reports > Reports to get desired columns in the output.

Rack layout numbering options

For a long time, you have had the option for each rack to show the U numbers between the U markers on the rack image. Some users were confused by this option because it was unclear whether the “start-at” U number or the “end-at” U number was being displayed between the Us. Actually, we were displaying the ‘end-at’ location. Now there is a global option available in Tools>>Settings>>Global Settings, where you can choose to show the Start At or End At location in the middle. This selection applies to all racks for which the “between the U markers” option is selected.

Other Cosmetic Changes

  • The item list at Tools > Export is now sorted alphabetically.
  • The Tools > Imports menu has been changed. API Imports now becomes Imports and is directly accessible from Tools Menu. All other imports have been moved under Legacy Imports.

Bug Fixes

  • SNMP network discovery for CDP/LLDP neighbors was failing in certain cases. Now fixed.
  • Server discovery via SNMP was erroring out if the memory was not detected correctly. Now fixed.
