- The edge device will be shown as an edge wired client.
- Scenario 4: The third-party infrastructure device will be shown as an infrastructure wired client.
- The wired device connected to the third-party infrastructure device will not be shown as a wired client.
- The infrastructure device will be shown as an edge wired client.
