Groups Views
Group Views allows you to quickly and easily see the Devices, Hardware and Events found in your
managed network. You can quickly drill down though submenus to get details about these devices,
hardware or events. From these submenus you can manage and control most features of your devices
as well, you can view and edit your installed hardware modules such as management modules, media
converter modules and individual media converter ports. Events or alerts on your system can be
easily acknowledged or deleted to help you keep on top of the more critical events within your
network. Custom device, hardware and event groups can be created to sort and maintain your own
custom views. See Creating Custom Views by Groups .
PerleVIEW supplies you with four pre-defined Group Views under the submenu Devices. Each group
will display all devices which have been discovered on your network but will group them based on
different criteria.
The groupings are as follows:
zAll Devices - View all discovered devices on your network. From the left-hand navigation panel
select Devices -> All Devices
zSubnets - View all discovered devices grouped by IP subnets. From the left-hand navigation
panel select Devices -> Subnets
zHealth - View all discovered devices grouped by their current health status. From the left-hand
navigation panel select Devices -> Health.
zLimited Functionality - View all discovered devices with limited functionality. From the left-
hand navigation panel select Devices -> Limited Functionality. Limited functionality devices
are devices that are not configured (example: do not have an IP address) or devices that need to
update their firmware level. If no devices exist for this category, the group will not show up in
the left-hand navigation panel.
