Assigning Sites

In Aruba Central, assigning Sites and Labels is an optional step. A site in Aruba Central refers to a physical location where a set of devices are installed; for example, campus, branch, or a venue. You can create a branch or campus site; for example Branch A or Campus A, for a specific geographical location and assign devices to it. You can use these sites as filters for viewing your deployment topology, monitoring network and device health.

To assign devices to a site:

  1. In the Network Operations app, set the filter to Global.
  2. Under Maintain, click Organization.

    By default, the Network Structure tab is displayed.

  3. Click the Sites tile.

    The Manage Sites page is displayed.

  4. Under Manage Sites, locate the site to which you want to assign a device. You can also add a new site by clicking (+)New Site and providing details, such as site name and address.
  5. To view devices that are not assigned to any site, click Unassigned.
  6. Select one or several devices from the list of devices.
  7. Drag and drop the devices to the site on the left. A pop-up window opens and prompts you to confirm the site assignment.
  8. To confirm the assignment, click Yes.
