Product group overview
Once devices display in the Network Object view, you can associate the devices with a group.
Product groups allow you to monitor and manage multiple devices at one time. Once configured
you can use product groups to perform the following:
• Deploy common configurations to all devices in a group
• Implement common monitoring facilities for all devices in a group.
• Identify which MPLS configured devices can be managed by MPLS.
The Management application provides pre-defined System Groups and allows you to create
user-defined groups.
• System Groups — Groups pre-defined by the Management application. Discovered devices
automatically display in these groups. You can see all system groups; however, under each
group, you can only see devices that belong to your area of responsibility (AOR). The system
groups include the following:
- Fixed Configuration Products
- Layer 2 Switch Products
- Other Products
- Wireless Standalone APs
- All IP Products
- Load Balancer Products
- Wireless Controllers
- IP Wired Products
- Chassis Products
- Router Products
- MPLS Licensed and Configured Products
• User-Defined Groups — Groups created by users. All users can see user-defined product
groups; however, you can only see products in the group that belong to your AOR. You can
create two type of groups - static and dynamic.
NOTE
You can add a standalone VDX product or a VCS fabric to a user-defined Product Group;
however, the VCS fabric members are not included with the group.
- Static — You can define a product group by selecting the product you want to include inthe
group.
- Dynamic — You can define a product group using the following product attributes:

Name
