Configuring and Using Device
Groups in AWMS
This chapter describes the deployment of device groups within AWMS. The section below describes the pages or
focused sub-menus available on the Groups tab. Note that the available sub-menus can vary significantly from
one device group to another—one or more sub-menus 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.

List —This page is the default page in the Groups section of AWMS. This page lists all groups currently
configured in AWMS and provides the foundation for all group-level configurations. See “Viewing All
Defined Device Groups” on page 81 . In the case of WLAN switches and configuration, refer also to the Aruba
Configuration Guide .

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 device-level activity
in a given group. Several procedures in this chapter cite the Groups > Monitor page.

Basic
—This sub-menu page appears when you create a new group with the

to an AP, navigate to the Helpdesk > Incidents page.
