The Glossary feature in the Segura platform allows users to create and manage standardized information about devices. It serves as a centralized repository for associating configuration patterns with specific device types, vendors, and products. This enables automation of credential usage, connectivity, and tagging during discovery and management operations.
By defining glossary entries, users can streamline repetitive tasks and maintain consistency across discovered assets.
Functionality
- Define device identification rules based on site, vendor, type, and product.
- Associate default and privileged credentials to automate access configuration.
- Specify connectivity details, including required ports.
- Tag discovered devices automatically.
- Define the order of rule application for resolving conflicts.
- Enable or disable glossary rules without deleting them.
Applicability
This functionality is especially useful for large-scale environments where devices follow standard access and configuration rules. It simplifies setup during discovery and helps ensure that devices are identified, connected, and configured uniformly.
Use Cases
- Automatically assigning credentials to devices based on vendor and model.
- Tagging devices in specific locations with standardized metadata.
- Configuring required access ports per device type to speed up deployment.
- Avoiding manual configuration for each discovered asset.
