Viewing Device Groups

You can view device groups by navigating to Groups > List . When you configure AirWave for the first time, Access Points is the only group in the list.

From the Groups List page, you can:

Create a group by clicking Add at the top of the page. Alternatively, you could create a group by selecting group from the list and clicking to clone the group. The copied group will be added to the group list with "copy of" appended in front of the group name.
Compare two groups. For more information, see Comparing Device Groups.
Click or hover your mouse over the icon for quick access to other Groups pages. For information about the Groups pages, see Navigation Basics.
For example, you can select Basic from the shortcut menu to change group configurations. Refer to Configuring Basic Settings for Device Groups .
Add groups to a global group. For more information, see Subscribing other Groups to a Global Group.
Delete a group. For more information, see Deleting a Group.

Table 1 describes the device group details available on the Groups > List page.

Table 1: Groups > List Fields and Descriptions
Field	Description
Name	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).
SSID	The SSID assigned to supported device types within the group.
Total Devices	Total number of devices contained in the group including APs, controllers, routers, or switches.
Changes	This field is available when a group has unapplied changes.
Is Global Group	This field is available if a group is designated as global. A global group may not contain APs, but it may be used as a template for other groups. NOTE: This column might indicate Yes if this group has been pushed to AirWave from a Conductor Console.
Global Group	Specifies which group this Subscriber Group is using as its template.
Down	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, AirWave classifies the device as down.
Mismatched	The number of devices within the group that are in a mismatched state.
Ignored	The number of ignored devices in that group.
Clients	The number of mobile users associated with all access points within the group. To avoid double counting of clients, clients 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 clients.
Usage	A running average of the sum of bytes in and bytes out for the managed radio page.
VPN Sessions	Number of active (connected) VPN sessions under this group.
Up/Down Status Polling Period	The time between Up/Down SNMP polling periods for each device in the group. Detailed SNMP polling period information is available on the Groups > Basic configuration page. By default, most polling intervals do not match the up/down period.
Duplicate	Creates a new group with the name Copy of <Group Name> with identical configuration settings. (HPE Aruba Networking configuration settings will have to be manually added back.)
