Group List overview
Use the Group List page to create, view, and manage groups of devices.
The list provides details for all device groups currently defined:
Group Name: The name assigned to the group of devices. NOTE: When you click on a group name, a version of the Dashboard Home page appears with data for that group. The group view also includes pages for Alarms and Operations.
Model: The model of the devices in the group, for example, FW2000e.
NOTE: If a group includes multiple models, this column displays MIXED.
Firmware: The version of firmware on the devices in the group.
NOTE: If a group includes multiple firmware versions, this column displays MIXED.
No. of Devices: The number of devices in the group.
Alarms: The number and type of alarms currently unresolved for the devices in the group.
Group Type: Indicates the type of group.
- Static - Any logical grouping of a fixed set of devices. You can use static groups to view group level dashboards, define alarms, and run reports on a specific set of devices. A device can belong to multiple static groups.
- Config - A group of devices in which a template defines and maintains configuration settings. If a user changes any device setting that is configured in the template, the template is reapplied, and the device reverts to template settings. An APPLY_TEMPLATE operation displays in the Operations tab each time the template is automatically reapplied. NOTE: A device can belong to only one config group.
Template: The name of the template currently applied to the device by its config group.
