Viewing Clients in List View

The clients list view enables you to view a list of all the clients in the site. The list view also provides options to search and filter the clients. Additionally, you can also customize the columns displayed in the list view.

In HPE Aruba Networking Central the AP/switch tunneled clients can be viewed under AP/switch context only and not gateway context. This applies to both wireless and wired clients. Only when there are clients directly connected to the gateway, clients can be viewed under the gateway context.

To navigate to the list view, complete the following steps:

1. In the HPE Aruba Networking Central landing page, select a site having at least one active client from the Sites menu.

   Alternatively, you can click the expand icon on the Sites menu to search for a site from the list.

   The site dashboard is displayed with the network and connectivity information for the site.

2. Click the Clients option.

   The List view is displayed on the site dashboard.
