Assign Devices to Domain


This window lets you assign devices in the ExtremeCloud IQ Site Engine database to a Policy Domain or move devices from one domain to another. A Policy Domain contains any number of roles and a set of devices uniquely assigned to that particular domain. A device can exist in only one Policy Domain. For more information on domains, see How to Create and Use Domains.

Initially, you must add your devices to the ExtremeCloud IQ Site Engine database. When your devices are in the database, use this window to assign the devices to a Policy Domain. As soon as the devices are assigned to a domain, they display automatically in the Policy tab Devices tab. Only devices that support policy are displayed in the Devices tab.

To access this window, open the domain to which you want to assign devices, and select Open/Manage Domains > Assign Devices to Domain.

Add Devices to Domains

Devices
The Devices list displays all the unassigned devices in the database (including devices that do not support policy) but are not assigned to a domain. The panel also displays any other domains and the devices assigned to that domain. Use the navigation trees to select a single domain or All Other Domains.
Current Domain
The Current Domain list displays the current domain and the devices assigned to that domain. To add a device to the current domain, select the device in the left panel and select the right arrow. You can also select and add multiple devices. To remove a device from the current domain, select the device and select the left arrow. This removes the device from the current domain and places it back in the device tree as either unassigned or as a member of the domain it came from. To remove all devices, select the double left arrow.
Device Domain Membership
This section is only displayed when more than one domain exists. It lists the domain assignment for whatever device or device group you have selected in the Devices panel. This is particularly useful when you have selected All Other Domains from the drop-down list in the Devices panel, as it allows you to quickly see the domain assignment for each device.
Right Arrow Button
Adds the devices selected in the Devices list to the Current Domain list.
Remove Button
Removes the devices selected in the Current Domain list from the current domain and places it back in the Devices list as either unassigned or as a member of the domain from which it came.
  NOTE: Removing a device from a domain does not delete the device from the ExtremeCloud IQ Site Engine database. To delete a device from the database, right-click on the device in the Network tab, and select Device > Delete Device from the menu. When a device is deleted from the database, it is automatically removed from the Network and Policy tabs.
Double Left Arrow Button
Removes all the devices from the current domain.
OK Button
Assigns the selected devices to the current domain and displays the devices in the Policy tab's Devices tab. Only devices that support policy are assigned to the domain and displayed in the Devices tab.
