Management Zone: The settings are inherited by all device folders and devices.
Device Folder: The settings are inherited by all devices contained within the folder or its subfolders. Overrides the Management Zone settings.
Device: The settings apply only to the device for which they are configured. Overrides the settings at the Management Zone and folder levels.
