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.

Launching Groups Views
