Add Device for Plugins

Has there been any discussion of common GUI and abstraction for adding network devices to CloudStack.

They all need some common facilities:

- Physical Network that is served by Device
- Device IP Address/Name
- UserName / Password
- Certificate Import facility for Device if using secure connection

In addition each device might have device specific custom fields that need to be entered, e.g. Nicira device needs the Transport Zone.

I found GUI to add devices under the Physical Network> Configure "Network Service Providers"

The GUI is for a subset of all the devices (Virtual Router, Security Groups, NetScaler, Nicira and BigSwitch.)
