What are device management states and actions?

Management states

The Management State parameter in the Device Management, Managed Network Elements view is applicable to classic devices only. It indicates the state of a discovered classic device, as reported by the NFM-P.

The Management State parameter appears as a dash ( — ) for MDM devices, to indicate that it is not applicable.

Management actions

You can access the Manage menu from the Table row actions menu (png1.png) on an NE in the Device Management, Managed Network Elements view.

Available actions in the Manage menu depend on the NE mode, management state, and resync status. If a management operation is in progress, actions may not be available.

The following table shows available options.
