DCA provides the option to define four attribute fields for a device. These fields

Auto Update Type
You can use this feature to add, edit, and delete devices managed using Auto
Update Server. The CiscoWorks Auto Update Server is a web-based interface for
upgrading device configuration files and software images on firewalls that use the
auto update feature.
The Auto Update Server managed device has its own attributes and credentials
just like normal devices in DCR. In addition, it will have the following attributes:
•
Device Identity: The string value that uniquely identifies the device in parent
Auto Update Server.
•
The DCR Device ID of the parent Auto Update Server record.
To add devices and credentials using Auto Update type:
Step 1
Select the Auto Update radio button.
Step 2
Enter the Device Type, Display Name, Auto Update Device ID, Host Name,
Domain Name, and IP address in the corresponding fields.
To select Auto Update Server, Domain Name, and the Device Type click Select
and select from the resulting popup windows. For Auto Update Server managed
devices, Display Name and Device-Identity are enough for identity.
DCR uses a device record to represent an Auto Update Server. An Auto Update
Server can be added in the Auto Update Server Management UI. Auto Update
Server added this way can then be selected for the field Auto Update Server.
