Chapter 3 Managing the Device Inventory
Working with the Device Inventory
•For FWSM, PIX Firewall 7.0, and ASA devices—The security contexts defined on the device. For
information about security contexts, see Chapter 57, “Configuring Security Contexts on Firewall
Devices”.
•IPS devices—The virtual sensors defined on the device.
To view contained items, in Device view, select one of these types of devices and then select Tools >
Show Containment, or right-click the device and select Show Containment. The Composite View
dialog box opens and displays elements contained in the selected device, if any.
Cloning a Device
A cloned (duplicate) device shares the configurations and properties of the source device. Cloning a
device saves you time because you do not need to re-create configuration and properties on the new
device.
The cloned device shares the device operating system version, credentials and grouping attributes with
the source device, but it has its own unique identity, such as display name, IP address, hostname, and
domain name. You can clone only one device at a time.
Note You cannot clone a Catalyst switch or a Catalyst 6500/7600 device.

Step 1 Do one of the following:
•(Device view) Select the device and select File > Clone Device, or right-click the device in the
Device selector and select Clone Device.

The Create a Clone of Device dialog box appears.
Step 2 Enter the IP address and names for the clone in the appropriate fields. Following are the available
attributes:
•IP Type—Whether the device uses a static or dynamic (DHCP-provided) IP address. You cannot
change the IP type when cloning a device.
•Hostname—(Static IP only.) The DNS hostname for the cloned device.
•Domain Name—(Static IP only.) The DNS domain name for the cloned device. If you do not
provide the domain name, Security Manager uses the default domain name configured on the server.
•IP Address—The management IP address of the cloned device, for example, 10.10.100.1. If you do
not know the IP address, enter the DNS hostname in the Hostname field. You must enter either the
IP address or the hostname for devices with static IP addresses.
•Display Name—The name that appears in Security Manager device lists. The maximum length is
70 characters. Valid characters are: 0-9; uppercase A-Z; lowercase a-z; and the following characters:
_ -. : and space.
•Device Identity—(Dynamic IP only.) The string value that uniquely identifies the device in Auto
Update Server or Configuration Engine. This field appears only if the device is configured to use
one of these servers.
