These devices, as mentioned before, can be physical or virtual devices.
When physical ION devices are allocated to sites, the devices are displayed on the Prisma SD-WAN under Devices as Unclaimed and Offline. When virtual ION devices are added to the system and licensed, they are displayed as Unclaimed and Online-Restricted.
Devices visible in the inventory are available to claim and then are assigned to sites. The claim process authenticates and legitimizes the devices on each site. The devices come online with enough knowledge to connect with the Prisma SD-WAN controller in the appropriate customer context and start forwarding flows.
