Creating a model device

To create a model device:

1. In Device Manager, click Add Device, and select Add Model Device:

   

2. Fill in the following details:

   Field	Description
   Name	Device name (e.g. hostname).
   Link Device By	Chosen onboarding method. Fill in either Serial Number or Pre-shared Key.
   Device Model	Device model.
   Add to Device Group	Select the right group.
   Pre-run CLI templates	Select the right Pre-run CLI Template.

   

3. Click Next to complete model device creation.

The new model device is associated with a list of provisioning templates. Most of the provisioning templates are automatically assigned to the model device based on the device group. An exception is the pre-run CLI template that we manually assigned when we created the model device.
