Managing Infrastructure Devices

Infrastructure devices can be managed through the Infrastructure Inventory. This panel displays a list of infrastructure devices associated with the currently selected location. Infrastructure devices are added using the Infrastructure Site Tool. The following information is provided for each device:

Name	The official name of the device.
Model	The model of the device.
Type	The type of infrastructure device.
Group	The group location the device is associated with. If the device is not associated with a group location, this column will default to the server location.
Version	The version of firmware currently running on the device.
IP Address	The IP address of the device.
Last Contact	The last time the device was in contact with the infrastructure Server.
Status	Indicates the current status of the device.
Up	A green circle with a check indicates that the device is up and running. A red X indicates there is an issue with the device.
Mobile Devices	Indicates whether the profile assigned to the device is composite.
Notes	Lists any notes users have saved for the device.

View the details of an infrastructure device by clicking its name. The Device Details page lists the properties of a device, the profiles applied, and any related switches or access points.

Note: In addition to devices using Supported Firmware, Avalanche can manage devices that conform to the MIB-II standard as generic devices. Generic devices will have limited support or information available.To update firmware, manage Infrastructure Server profiles or infrastructure profiles, you must use the Java Console.

You can perform the following tasks to manage infrastructure devices:

•

Querying an Infrastructure Device

•

Pinging an Infrastructure Device

•

Resetting Access Points

•

Deleting Infrastructure Devices

•

Mapping Infrastructure Devices on a Floorplan

Note: All tasks except viewing related devices are available for both switches and access points. The only tasks that apply to an access port are Viewing Related Devices and Deleting Devices.
