Adding a New Group Mapping

About this task

To create a new Automatic Group Mapping:

Procedure

  1. Navigate to Main Menu > Rules.
  2. In the left pane, select Automatic Group Mappings.
  3. Select the New Mapping icon to add a new mapping. The Add New Mapping window appears.
  4. Configure the following:
    Mapping Details
    Mapping Name Enter a unique name for the mapping.
    Device Types Select the device types to include in the mapping.
    Note: If the selected devices does not support Fully Qualified Domain Name (FQDN), a notification displays, and the FQDN option will be unavailable.
    Source Groups Select source groups to limit the mapping criteria to only devices within those groups. Only devices from these selected source groups can move.
    Property (Optional) Choose the property to base the mapping on:
    • FQDN
    • IP Address
    • None
    If using IP Address, you can define the range using:
    • From IP to IP to enter an IP range.
    • IP/Subnet Mask to enter an IP address and subnet mask.
    Note: When using a wildcard (*) character for FQDN Match, make sure to end the string with .com.

    For example, ab*.com is valid, but ab* is not.

    Note: If you do not wish to use FQDN or IP addresses, select None.
    Manufacturer (Optional) Specify the device manufacturer.
    Model (Optional) Specify the device model.
    Custom Attributes Select up to eight custom attributes.
    Note: You must first create custom attributes for a device. Once created, applicable custom attributes are selectable in the Custom Attributes panel.

    To create custom attributes, from the main menu, select Administration > Custom Attributes. See Adding a Custom Attribute.

    Note: Geolocation Custom Attributes are not available within automatic group mappings.
    Target Details
    Target Group Select the destination device group for devices that match the defined mappings.
    Note: Optionally, you can isolate the scope of the mappings by selecting Source Groups. Only devices from the selected source groups move.
    Rename Devices To Define a naming convention for successfully mapped devices.
  5. Select Save.
