On the Network equipment class there is a field called "type" that shows a dropdown for router and switch, but there are classes for router
and switch. Which one does discovery use? Can it use all three and if so will it set that dropdown?
Will the network equipment class be superseded by the other two?
We want to start using SNMP in the future and I would like to understand this variation before we begin our tests.
Thanks.

Ow, ok Kurt, looked over the field the first time, my apologies!
It's because the record has been added manually directly in the Network Gear table. Because the class is in that case Network Gear, you can make difference between the types of CI by setting the Device type field manually.
Discovery always will put a discovered router in the cmdb_ci_ip_router class. I've already did some discovery on these on a project at one of our customers, trust me

While a network switch can connect multiple devices and networks to expand the LAN, a router will allow you to share a single IP address among multiple network devices. In simpler terms, the Ethernet switch creates networks and the router allows for connections between networks.
