On screenshot to the left you can see that the Current device is cisco-xyz. When you click on the Request in the MIB tab, SNMP Query command will be sent to this device.

Device Tab includes following options and information:

  1. Add instant device
  2. Current device
  3. List of devices in the application database

Devices added in the Settings > MIB Settings > Devices will show in the list of devices and will be always available.

Instant devices are user added devices that will not be saved in the database (the list will be cleared after logout). Instant devised are used if you want to quickly check an OID on a device but do not want the device to be stored for later use.
