Viewing and Performing Bulk Operations for Network Devices

You can view the network devices and AAA clients. These are the devices sending access requests to ACS. The access requests are sent via TACACs+ or RADIUS.

To view and import network devices:

Step 1 Choose Network Resources > Network Devices and AAA Clients.

The Network Device page appears, with any configured network devices listed. Table 7-3provides a description of the fields in the Network Device page:

Table 7-3	Network Device Page Field Descriptions
Option		Description
Name		User-specified name of network devices in ACS. Click a name to edit the associated network device
		(see Displaying Network Device Properties, page 7-14).
IP Address		Display only. The IP address or subnet mask of each network device. The first three IP addresses appear
		in the field, each separated by a comma (,).
		If this field contains a subnet mask, all IP addresses within the specified subnet mask are permitted to
		access the network and are associated with the network device definition.
		When you use subnet masks, the number of unique IP addresses depends on the number of IP addresses
		available through the subnet mask. For example, a subnet mask of 255.255.255.0 means you have 256
		unique IP addresses.
		You can see the excluded IP address next to the specified IP address if any.
NDG: string		Network device group. The two predefined NDGs are Location and Device Type. If you have defined
		additional network device groups, they are listed here as well.
Description		Display only. Descriptions of the network devices.
