Supported devices
The built-in hardware catalog holds 566 models from 4 vendors, 181 of them with a front-panel diagram. Devices outside the catalog can still be recorded and read.
What Cenovel reads
Identified means Cenovel recognizes the vendor and software and names the model. Monitored means it reads the device on the polling schedule.
| Kind | Vendors and software | Read over | What Cenovel does |
|---|---|---|---|
| Switches and stacks | Cisco IOS and IOS XE; Juniper Junos; Extreme Switch Engine and Fabric Engine | SSH and SNMPv3 | Identified and monitored |
| Switches | Cisco Catalyst 1200 and 1300; Extreme SLX-OS and Extreme ONE OS | SNMPv3 | Monitored with the standard SNMP tables; the software is not recognized |
| Switches | Aruba ArubaOS-Switch | SNMPv3 | Identified and monitored over SNMPv3 only; not in the catalog |
| Routers | Cisco IOS XE (Catalyst 8000 edge, 8000 Secure Routers); Juniper Junos (MX, ACX) | SSH and SNMPv3 | Identified and monitored |
| Firewalls | Palo Alto Networks PA-series | SNMPv3 | Monitored with the standard SNMP tables; PAN-OS is not recognized. In the catalog, with diagrams |
| Access points | Extreme IQ Engine (HiveOS) | SSH and SNMPv3 | Identified and monitored directly |
| Access points | Cisco Catalyst and Cisco Wireless access points | SSH and SNMPv3 | Identified over SSH or SNMPv3, or named from a switch’s CDP neighbor; monitored directly with a management address |
| Access points | Managed by Juniper Mist | Mist cloud API over HTTPS | Observed through Mist |
| Access points | Managed by ExtremeCloud IQ | ExtremeCloud IQ API over HTTPS | Observed through ExtremeCloud IQ |
| Access points | Any other, recorded with a management address | SNMPv3 | Monitored directly, unless a controller covers it |
| Servers | HPE iLO (including iLO 4) and Dell iDRAC | Redfish over HTTPS | Identified and monitored |
| Servers | Any other Redfish management controller | Redfish over HTTPS | Identified and monitored with the standard Redfish resources |
| UPS | Any | Not contacted | Inventory only: records, install reports, service and battery dates |
| Controllers and cloud | Juniper Mist; ExtremeCloud IQ | HTTPS API with a read-only token | Read-only observation |

Not supported yet
What this release does not read, so you can plan around it.
- SNMPv1 and SNMPv2c, and SNMPv3 without privacy or with MD5, SHA-1 or DES. Cenovel uses SNMPv3 with SHA-2 authentication and AES-128 privacy only.
- Recognizing Cisco NX-OS, Arista EOS, Palo Alto PAN-OS and Extreme SLX-OS software. Devices running them are read only through the standard SNMP tables.
- SSH reads of Palo Alto firewalls, Aruba switches, Catalyst 1200 and 1300 switches, and SLX switches.
- The Cisco Meraki dashboard, Aruba access points, Aruba Central and other controllers or cloud services. Cenovel reads only Juniper Mist and ExtremeCloud IQ; a Meraki access point is named only from a switch’s LLDP neighbor.
- Polling a UPS or its network card. A UPS is an inventory record.
- Switch chassis temperature and other environmental sensors on switches.
- Per-port VLAN membership on Cisco, Switch Engine and Fabric Engine switches, and per-port duplex outside Junos.
