Chapter 6 Performing Administrative Tasks

Managing Groups

The device selector lists all the current groups, both system-defined groups and user-defined groups. The number after a group name or folder shows how many objects are in the group (devices and other groups) or how many groups are in the folder. Every managed device appears in one or more of the system-defined groups, and may also appear in user-defined groups.

System-Defined Groups

There are six system-defined folders containing system-defined groups.

You cannot edit or delete a system-defined group. The system defined groups are automatically populated using information read from the devices during discovery and inventory collection. Any changes on devices are reflected in the system-defined groups only after the next discovery or inventory collection has completed. The system-defined groups and folders are:

Device Type folder—Contains groups for AAA servers, 1200 APs, 340 APs, 350 APs, 350 Bridges, Routers, and Switches.

Note 4800 APs will appear in the system folder for 350 APs.

Location folder—Contains groups based on the locations of the devices. To enable creation of system-definedlocation groups, you must configure a parameter on the device that identifies the device location. See Set Up Devices, page 6-12for information on setting location. The null location group contains all devices that are not configured with their location information.

SSID folder—Contains a group for each primary radio service set ID (SSID) configured on access points. For information on configuring the SSID, see Set Up Devices, page 6-12

Software Version folder—Contains a group for each software version detected on the devices.

Subnet folder—Contains a group for each subnet configured in the network.

VLAN folder—Contains a group for each VLAN configured on the access points.
