Note You can only manage a total of 525 access points and wireless bridges.
After you have placed 500 of these devices into the Managed folder,
warning messages are displayed each time you place more devices in the
folder. After the 525 limit is reached, no more devices can be placed in
the Managed folder, although discovery continues after the limit is
reached.

This ensures that device attributes appear in displays, such as reports and
system-defined groups without waiting for the next inventory cycle. For
information about running an immediate inventory, see Running Inventories,
page 6-24.

is run automatically for the auto-managed devices. F or m o re information
about auto-manage, see Enable Discovery Options, page 6-18.
