Question 1: Is it possible to change the device type? I know thisinformation is gathered from device, but when the device has no snmp support, but only an ip address (like a printer), I need to specify it's type in the system to built more detailed and consistent reports.
Types are intrinsically linked to SNMP sysObjectIDs, so there are no mechanisms for manually assigning types to non-managed equipment. If we were to enable such a thing, you would also need to invent fictitious sysObjectIDs that would never occur in the wild for your manually selected types.
Your best approach is to use the OTHER category and create a PRINTER subcategory to assign to these devices.
Question 2: How can I insert an unmanaged switch or hub in NAV? I needthis because I want to know where this kind of devices are inserted in our network to planning a future replacement of it.
You can't. A unmanaged switch or hub cannot be detected by NAV nor neighboring switches, so there would be no automated means to discover its location in the network topology.
Question 3: Where I can change the netmap device icons? The device iconis related to type or category? Would be great if it where possible to change the device's icon to reflect it's model.
The icons are related to category. They can, of course, be replaced, but icons for each model is not currently possible.
