Configuring and Using Device Groups in
AMP
This chapter describes the deployment of device groups within AMP. The section below describes the pages or
focused subtabs available on the Groups tab. Note that the available subtabs can vary significantly from one
device group to another—one or more subtabs may not appear, depending on the Default Group display option
selected on the AMP Setup > General page and the types of devices you add to AMP.
Figure 37 Subtabs under the Group tab
 List—This page is the default page in the Groups section of AMP. It lists all groups currently configured in
AMP and provides the foundation for all group-level configurations. See “Viewing All Defined Device
Groups” on page71.
 Monitor—This page displays user and bandwidth information, lists devices in a given group, provides an Alert
Summary table for monitoring alerts for the group, and provides a detailed Audit Log for group-level activity.
 Basic—This page appears when you create a new group on the Groups > List page. Once you define a group
name, AMP displays the Basic page from which you configure many group-level settings. This page remains
available for any device group configured in AMP. Refer to “Configuring Basic Group Settings” on page72.
 Templates—This page manages templates for any device group. Templates allow you to manage the
configuration of Dell PowerConnect W-Series, 3Com, Alcatel-Lucent, Aruba Networks, Cisco Aironet IOS,
Cisco Catalyst switches, Enterasys, HP, Nortel, Symbol and Trapeze devices in a given group using a
configuration file. Variables in such templates configure device-specific properties, such as name, IP address
and channel. Variables also define group-level properties. For additional information about using the
Templates page, refer to Chapter 6, “Creating and Using Templates” on page147.
 Security—This page defines general security settings for device groups, to include RADIUS, encryption, and
additional security settings on devices. Refer to “Configuring Group Security Settings” on page80.
 SSIDs—This page sets SSIDs, VLANs, and related parameters in device groups. Refer to “Configuring Group
SSIDs and VLANs” on page82.
 AAA Servers—This page configures authentication, authorization, and accounting settings in support of
RADIUS servers for device groups. Refer to “Adding and Configuring Group AAA Servers” on page79.
 Radio—This page defines general 802.11 radio settings for device groups. Refer to “Configuring Radio
Settings for Device Groups” on page86.
 Dell Config—This page manages ArubaOS Device Groups, AP Overrides, and other profiles specific to Dell
PowerConnect W-Series devices on the network. Use this page as an alternative to the Device Setup > Dell
PowerConnect W Configuration page. The apperance of this page varies depending on whether AMP is
configured for global configuration or group configuration. For additional information, refer to theDell
PowerConnect W-AirWave Configuration Guide at support.dell.com/manuals.
 Cisco WLC Config—This page consolidates controller-level settings from the Group Radio, Security, SSIDs,
Cisco WLC Radio and AAA Server pages into one navigation tree that is easier to navigate, and has familiar
layout and terminology. Bulk configuration for per-thin AP settings, previously configured on the Group
NOTE: The Incidents portion of the Alert Summary table only increments the counter for incidents that are open and associated to
an AP in that group, associated with the group itself. It does not include incidents associated with any folder. To view all incidents
including those not associated to an AP, go to the Helpdesk > Incidents page.
