Use Case: Device Group Filtering

View your devices on a floor plan to gain information about network readiness. Floor plans are associated with the site. Each site can have one or more floor plans — typically, one plan per floor. Devices that are displayed on the floor plan belong to a selected device group. All devices in a device group must share the same platform (as well as profile configuration and RF Management).

The example site has four device groups and three floor plans:

The site has two floors and an outdoor courtyard.
Each floor and courtyard has a separate floor plan:
- First floor map
- Second floor map
- Outdoor courtyard map
The site includes a device group for each AP platform:
- DG-3915
- DG-3935
- DG-3917
- DG-3965
Floors 1 and 2 have a combination of AP models AP3935 and AP3915.
The courtyard has AP Models AP3965 and AP3917.

To show all APs on the first floor, select device groups DG-AP3935 and DG-AP3915. Then, select the First floor map.

To show all APs on the second floor, select device groups DG-AP3935 and DG-AP3915. Then, select the Second floor map.

To show all APs in the outdoor courtyard, select device groups AP3965 and AP3917. Then, select Outdoor courtyard map.

When working in the Floor Plan View you can toggle floor plan maps from the map panel.
