Aliases have scope depending on where the Alias is defined. Alias are defined with the following scopes:
•
Global aliases
are defined from the
Configuration > Network > Alias
screen. Global aliases are available for use globally
across all devices, profiles and RF Domains in the system.
•
Profiles aliases
are defined from
Configuration > Devices > System Profile > Network > Alias
screen. These aliases
are available for use to a specific group of wireless controllers or access points. Alias
values defined in this profile override
alias values defined within global aliases.
•
RF Domain aliases
are defined from
Configuration > Devices > RF Domain > Alias
screen. These aliases are available
for use for a site as a RF Domain is site specific. RF Domain alias values override alias values defined in a global alias or a
profile alias configuration.
•
Device aliases
are defined from
Configuration > Devices > Device Overrides > Network > Alias
screen. Device alias
are utilized by a single device only. Device alias values override alias values defined in a global alias
,
profiles alias or
RF
Domain alias configuration.
Using an alias, configuration changes made at a remote location override any updates at the management center. For example,
if an
Network Alias
defines a network range as 192.168.10.0/24 for the entire network, and at a remote deployment location,
the local network range is 172.16.10.0/24, the Network Alias can be overridden at the deployment location to suit the local
requirement. For the remote deployment location, the Network Alias works with the 172.16.10.0/24 network. Existing ACLs
using this Network Alias need not be modified and will work with the local network for the deployment location. This simplifies
ACL definition and management while taking care of specific local deployment requirements.
Alias can be classified as:
•
Network Basic Alias
•
Network Group Alias
•
Network Service Alias

Overriding Alias Configuration
A
basic alias
is a set of configurations that consist of VLAN, host, network and address range alias configurations. VLAN
configuration is a configuration for optimal VLAN re-use and management for local and remote deployments. A host alias
configuration is for a particular host device’s IP address. A network alias configuration is utilized for an IP address on a
particular network. An address range alias is a configuration for a range of IP addresses.
A basic alias configuration can contain multiple instances for each of the five (5) alias types.

1. Select
Devices
