Icons

Icons in FortiNAC represent different devices and users as they connect to and access the network. Host Icons are displayed in the Hosts View and the Topology View on the Ports tab. System Icons are displayed in the Topology View. Device Icons are displayed either in Hosts View, Profiled Devices, Dashboard or Topology View depending on where they are being managed. Host Icons in particular have many states.

The screen shot below from the Dashboard's Network Device Summary Panel illustrates the possible device icons shown in that view.

To indicate the state of a user, a device or a host, the icons are modified slightly by superimposing an image on top, such as a red box to indicate that the item has been disabled. States can be cumulative. For example, you could see an "X" over a host icon. This indicates that the host has been disabled but is still online. The table below provides a legend for those states.
