User's Guide

Since Extreme AirDefense manages its devices using a hierarchy that is configured using the Structure
& Tags pane, all the nodes under the top ADSP node inherit the configurations set at that node.
However, you can override the inherited configuration at any level in the hierarchy.
To override the inherited settings, in the Structure & Tags pane, select the node where you want to
override the inherited configuration. Then from the control, select the
Override option. Note that the Inherited from : control always displays the name of the level from
which the configuration settings are inherited from. Use this information to orient your self on how the
configurations are inherited.
Change the configuration for the selected level as required and then use the APPLY button to
implement the modified configuration settings. These settings will now be inherited by all levels below
the selected level unless a sub-level has been explicitly overridden.
Client Types
Client Types are classification of devices that are found within your Extreme AirDefense system. Use the
Client Type screen to create and manage custom client types within your system.
The Client Types screen enables you to:
• Add new client types to your system.
• Edit existing client types to change its icon or name.
