Change Assigned Device Admin States

You can change the admin state assigned to one or more devices from the Managed Devices table, or you can change it for a single device from the Device selection page.

Change Admin State from Managed Devices Table

To change a device's admin state from the Devices table in the GUI:
  1. From the left navigation menu, navigate to Devices > Managed Devices and select the check box(es) for the device(s) with the admin state(s) to change.
  2. In the Device menu that appears above the table, click the button for the applicable admin state.

    • Set admin state to NORMAL for selected systems - If you're upgrading a device network operating system, make sure the admin state is set to NORMAL before beginning the process.

    • Set admin state to DECOMM for selected systems - If you're decommissioning a device, setting the admin state to DECOMM is part of a larger process. See Remove Device from Managed Devices for the workflow and more details.
