Generically Supported Devices for Security Manager
Generically Supported Devices for Security Manager
Security Manager can manage some device models even if the model does not appear in the supported
device list. This type of generic device support relies on the fact that device features are controlled more
by the software running on the device than the device model.
device list. This type of generic device support relies on the fact that device features are controlled more
by the software running on the device than the device model.
If you have a device that does not appear in the explicitly supported device list, you can try to manage
it as a generic device using the device modules listed in the following table.

Tips
•
This type of generic support works best for new models of series that are already explicitly
supported. For example, a new model in the ASR 1000 series, or in the ISR 88x or 89x series.
Generic support does not work with carrier-class routers (the CRS) or for Catalyst switches.

•
Because this support is generic, Security Manager cannot determine if a particular feature is not
available on the specific model you are managing. You are responsible for determining if a feature
that you are allowed to configure in Security Manager is not supported on the device. If you
configure an unsupported feature, you will see errors when you deploy the configuration to the
device.

•
If the device contains an explicitly supported module, such as an AIM-IPS module, the module is
also supported. However, the module’s model must be explicitly supported: there is no generic
module support.
