Product group overview

Once devices display in the Network Object view, you can associate the devices with a group. Product groups allow you to monitor and manage multiple devices at one time. Once configured you can use product groups to perform the following:

•Deploy common configurations to all devices in a group

•Implement common monitoring facilities for all devices in a group.

•Identify which MPLS configured devices can be managed by MPLS.

The Management application provides pre-defined System Groups and allows you to create user-defined groups.

•System Groups — Groups pre-defined by the Management application. Discovered devices automatically display in these groups. You can see all system groups; however, under each group, you can only see devices that belong to your area of responsibility (AOR). The system groups include the following:

-Layer 2 Switch Products

-Other Products

-Wireless Standalone APs
