Group Membership Guidelines
Groups can contain only one kind of object: ports cannot be members of device groups, and devices
cannot be members of port groups.
A given device or port can reside in multiple groups in the Network Views folder, but not within the
same top-level group hierarchy.
For example, you can create a top-level device group called “North America,” with a su/jointfilesconvert/466826/bgroup “Bay
Area” that has a su/jointfilesconvert/466826/bgroup “Santa Clara Campus”. If you place a given switch in the “Santa Clara
Campus” subgroup, you cannot also place the same switch in either of the “North America” or “Bay
Area” groups.
However, if you create a second top-level group called “EXOS Switches”, which is not a su/jointfilesconvert/466826/bgroup of
the “North America” group, you can place the switch in the “EXOS Switches” group, even though the
switch also resides in the “Santa Clara Campus” su/jointfilesconvert/466826/bgroup of the “North America” group.
