The Groups window allows users to create new groups of devices and provides information about existing groups.
All predefined groups have Read permissions only, except Suppressed_Devices to/from which the user is also able to add/remove members or devices.
The following predefined groups auto-populate upon UFM startup: Switches, 1U_Switches, Modular_Switches, Gateway_Devices, and Hosts.
-
Click “New” under “Groups.”
-
In the New Group wizard, fill in the required information under the General tab: Name (must be between 4-20 characters), Type (General/Rack/Port), and Description (optional), and click Next.
-
Under Members tab, move the members of the new group from the Available list to the Selected list.
-
Click “Finish” and the new group will appear under the Groups window.
Group members details – port’s hostname, port’s GUID, and device’s IP address – can be viewed when selecting the group from the list of all groups available.
