About the InfraStruXure Central Console

The InfraStruXure Central console is divided into three main regions, or panes. The upper-left corner

pane is called the Group Navigation pane. The lower-left corner pane is called the Device Selection pane.

Finally, the right-side pane is called the Action/Information pane.

The Group Navigation Pane

The Group Navigation pane displays a tree view of all device groups that are defined for use by this user

account. The Group Navigation pane also functions as a basic status monitoring view. If a monitored

device reports an alert the device group to which the device belongs turns red. If the device is included in

multiple device groups, all groups of which it is included will turn red.

About Device Groups

Device groups contain monitored devices (such as NetBotz devices, camera pods, sensor pods, and other

physical infrastructure devices). Device group definitions allow you to more easily manage devices by

sorting them into smaller device groups, called “child groups.” Child groups are nested beneath their

“parent group” in the Device Group selection tree. Device groups enable you to set security policies for

your device groups by specifying what local user accounts or local user groups can access the device and

group and usage privileges they have while doing so).

Child device groups automatically inherit the settings of their parent device group and can have

additional settings as well. For example, if you create a child device group that contains only NetBotz

500s, and nest it inside a parent device group that includes only appliances with IP addresses in the

192.168.1.* subnet, your new child device group would include only NetBotz 500s with IP addresses in

the 192.168.1.1-192.168.1.256 range.

The contents of a device groups can be dynamic or static. Static device groups do not change, even if new

devices are discovered on the network which conform to the device groups settings, while dynamic

device groups are automatically updated to include newly discovered devices that fit the device groups

settings.

The Device Selection Pane

When you select a device group from the Group Navigation pane, all devices contained within the

selected device group are displayed in the Device Selection pane. Depending on your Client Preferences

each device will be identified by its IP address, Location value, MAC address, or Hostname.
