Assigning Devices To The Ignored Page; Unignoring A Device - Dell PowerConnect W-AirWave 7.6 User Manual

Assigning Devices to the Ignored Page

A device can be assigned to the Ignored page from the APs/Devices > New page. The advantage of having the
device be designated in this way, as in the case of a device that is temporarily down for a known reason, is that when
you take it off the ignored list, it returns immediately to the location in AirWave where it had resided before it was
marked Ignored.
Ignored devices are not displayed in APs/Devices > New if discovered in subsequent scans.
