The device catalogue: every platform netplex. knows
System → Nodes → Devices is the full catalogue behind the lab palette - every vendor platform netplex. recognises, which runtime it needs (Docker, QEMU, Dynamips, IOL), and whether the Docker-backed ones are already pulled locally. It is the reference to check before assuming a platform is not supported.
Grouped By Vendor by default - Cisco, Juniper, Arista and the rest, each with its platforms underneath and an emulator badge (DOCKER, QEMU, DYNAMIPS, IOL). Docker-backed entries show a Pull button if not yet downloaded, or a checkmark if they are.
Switch to By Function to browse the same catalogue grouped by role instead - router, switch, firewall, load balancer - useful when you know what kind of device you need but not which vendor. The filter box narrows either grouping instantly.
This catalogue is read-only reference - it does not add anything to a lab by itself. Pulling a Docker-backed platform here pre-downloads it so it starts instantly the first time someone drags it onto a canvas, which is exactly what "Offline image pre-pull" automates for a whole fleet at once. Hardware specs for each platform live one tab over in Device Defaults.
