How does Auvik handle devices that share the same IP address due to NAT or network overlaps in multi-site environments?
Answer: Each site operates as a separate network context, so duplicate IPs are tracked independently per site
Auvik's multi-site architecture treats each network as an independent context, allowing duplicate IP addresses to coexist across different sites without conflict.
What Auvik feature would you use to quickly find all devices of a specific type (e.g., all switches) across a client's network?
Answer: Device type filter in the device inventory list
The device type filter in Auvik's inventory list lets you instantly narrow the view to show only a specific category of device, such as all switches.
Which Auvik capability allows MSPs to track warranty and end-of-life status for client network equipment?
Answer: Device lifecycle information in the inventory details panel
Auvik can display warranty and end-of-life information within the device inventory details panel, helping MSPs proactively manage aging equipment.
In Auvik, how are interfaces on a managed device displayed to help administrators quickly assess their health?
Answer: Each interface is listed with status indicators showing up/down state and utilization
Auvik displays each device interface with real-time status indicators (up/down) and utilization metrics so administrators can quickly assess port health.
What is the purpose of the Auvik collector in relation to device inventory discovery?
Answer: It is a lightweight software agent deployed on-site that polls local devices and sends data to Auvik's cloud
The Auvik collector is a lightweight on-premises software agent that actively polls local network devices and forwards the collected data to Auvik's cloud platform.
In Auvik device management, what is the significance of a device being categorized as 'unmanaged'?
Answer: Auvik has discovered the device via ARP or MAC tables but is not polling it via SNMP for detailed data
An 'unmanaged' device in Auvik has been detected through passive discovery (ARP/MAC tables) but SNMP credentials have not been applied, so detailed telemetry is not collected.
