Assigning Devices to Logical Category

Network Director enables you to tag the available EX Series switches to different categories—Core, Aggregation, Access, or Unassigned categories. Once you tag a switch, it appears under the tagged category after refreshing the screen.

  1. Select Assign Device to Logical Category under Device Management from the Tasks pane.

    The Assign Device to Logical category page is displayed.

  2. Click Add from the Selected Devices table. The Please select devices dialog box is displayed.
  3. Select the device or devices that you want to assign by selecting the check box next to the hostname. Click OK. The selected device or devices with the details appears in the Selected Devices table.
  4. Select a role from the New Role list.

    The available roles are: Access, Aggregation, Core, and Unassigned.

  5. Click Done to change the role or click Cancel if you do not want to change the role. The message: Device Role successfully changed appears if you have selected Done.
