Viewing All Defined Device Groups - Dell PowerConnect W-Airwave User Manual

Group configuration can be enhanced with the AWMS Global Groups feature; this feature allows you to create
global groups with master configurations that are pushed to individual subscriber groups. More information is
available in page 125 as well as the section on the
page 239.

Table 37 describes the contents and functions of this page.
Description
Launches a page that enables you to add a new group by name and to define group parameters for
devices in that group. For additional information, refer to
The wrench icon for any existing group provides a hyperlink to the Groups > Basic configuration page to
begin editing Group configuration settings for that group.
Displays a user-defined name that uniquely identifies the group by location, vendor, department or any
other identifier (such as "Accounting APs," "Floor 1 APs," "Cisco devices," "802.1x APs," and so forth).
Identifies whether or not the group has been identified as a global group that can be used to configure
subscriber groups. Global groups cannot contain APs and are visible by users of any role.
Displays the global group to which the group is subscribed, if any.
Column represents the Service Set Identifier (SSID) assigned to all devices within the group.
Column represents the total number of devices contained in the group, including APs, wireless controllers
and routers or switches.
Column represents the number of access points within the group that are not reachable via SNMP or are
no longer associated to a controller. Note that thin APs are not directly polled with SNMP, but are polled
through the controller. That controller may report that the thin AP is down or is no longer on the controller.
At this point, AWMS classifies the device as down.
Column represents the number of access points or wireless controllers within the group that are in a
mismatched state.
Column displays the number of ignored devices in that group.
Column represents the number of mobile users associated with all access points within the group. To
avoid double counting of users, users are only listed in the group of the AP with which they are
associated. Note that device groups with only controllers in them report no users.
Column represents a running average of the sum of bytes in and bytes out for the managed radio page.
