Environment
VMware Smart Assurance - NCM
Resolution
As an example a customer adds the following to the Cisco.models file: WS-C2960+24PC-L
This will result in device discovery failure
The correct entry to add is to word PLUS instead of the + symbol namely WS-C4510RPlusE. The NCM code will then convert this into a + in the GUI and discovery will work fine.
