Which classes are you thinking of? I see ones for logical items like an IP endpoint, WAN, LAN, etc., but nothing that would account for things like routers and switches except for computer system. And the fact that they have the primary capability field that has values like Router and Switch in it would seem to indicate that that was where BMC intended to put them.
