Re: [Devmon] "Copying" device templates

[Sam A. <s_...@as...>]

Unless there are some pretty fundamental differences to be monitored 
between the 2800 and the 2801, I have found it easier to set the device 
type in the DEVMON tag in the bb-hosts file.
e.g.
10.1.1.1   my2801router   # DEVMON:model(cisco;2800)
