Issue/Introduction

We need to have a VC filter that references the device vendor, is this possible?

Environment

Release : 21.2, 22,2

Resolution

Yes, the mapVendor function can reference the device vendor if known:

Example expression that could be used in a Vendor Certification filter in addition to other expressions:

 (mapVendor(sysOID).toString().toLowerCase() contains "vend")

Would match a vendor with vend in the name.
