Virtual Type

The virtual_type field is returned in the DetailedDeviceDTO when the device is part of a hierarchy. For example, all management devices are part of a hierarchy, where the management device is the parent of the child firewall devices it manages.

If the device being returned via the GET API call is not part of a hierarchy, the virtual_type field will be empty. If the device being returned via the GET API call is part of a hierarchy, the virtual_type field will contain one of the following:
