Creating Device Groups in NSM

A device group enables you to easily deploy common configurations across all the devices of the group using templates. You can create device groups based on your requirement, for example: geographical location, business function and so on.

To create a device group: 

1. Navigate to Manager View| Firewalls | Groups page and Click Add:
   
2. Enter the Friendly Name and Tags in their respective fields.
3. Select devices listed in Unassigned Devices to add to the group being created and click caret-right icon.
4. The devices are moved to In Group list.
5. Click Save.
   

NOTE: The newly created group will be listed under the default group—Root Group, which cannot be deleted.

To create a device group under another device group:

1. Hover over the group under which you want to create a new device group.
2. Click the Ellipses icon in the Action Column and select Add a Group under this Group.
3. Follow steps in the above procedure for creating a device group.

The newly created group is added under the selected parent group. Click the caret icon next to the parent group to view the newly added group.
