Management groups overview
The Management application enables you to group multiple devices or ports so that you can
configure common configurations and perform common monitoring functions for them. You
configure management groups through the Network Objects view.
The Network Object view lists the discovered products, default and user-defined product groups,
and user-defined port groups. You can use Network Object view to do the following:
•
Add devices to product groups.
•
Remove devices from product groups.
•
Add ports to port groups.
•
Remove ports from port groups.
•
Synchronize the device configuration with the Management application database before the
next Discovery process runs.
The number of devices, device groups, and port groups that Network Object view can manage
depends on the disk space available to the Management application. However, adding many
devices and groups could affect system performance.
