Each system-defined device driver has a System Object ID and System Description. The System Object ID/System Description pair is used in conjunction with other device information to determine the appropriate device driver to assign to a device when NetIM autoconfigures a device entry for CLI collection.

When you create a device driver, you should specify a unique System Object ID/System Description pair for the new driver. If you do not, the device driver will not be assigned to any devices during autoconfiguration of device entries. When this occurs, you must manually assign the device driver to devices using the Device Manager.
