Inventory InformationView Details for the Network Devices

Device and Image Details


Site ConfigurationLocation Groups to mimic the physical topology of your network Location Groups help to create multi-level hierarchy for the device groups A single device can now belong to multiple groups Apart from the site based grouping, users can also create their own groups

based on different criteria

Create new site and assign the devices to this site

AP’s can now be assigned to the site groups

Examples of User defined groups : Groups based on the

device role – Access, Core & Distribution

Groups based on Priority of network devices – Pi, P2, P3 etc

Grouping based on Locations
