To avoid a manual process, create adoption rules before you register devices. Adoption rules
organize access points and switches based on preset conditions or rules.
When you are ready to register one or more devices:
Create the logical device groups for the
access points within a site.
Configure the adoption rules that
populate the groups.
Register the devices.
The APs are
organized into the logical sites and device groups automatically, based on the adoption
rule definitions. Switches are associated with the logical sites, but not assigned to
device groups. Rules are evaluated from the top down. Use the up and down arrows to put
adoption rules in a specific order. If the device does not match the criteria of the
first adoption rule, then the next rule is evaluated.
Note
For AP adoption only —
In addition to matching rule criteria, the site and device group configuration must
match the AP for the adoption rule to take effect. The AP license domain must match
the site Country, and the AP model number must match the site Type and device group
Profile configuration.
