- Device groups govern summary data aggregations and other device processing within each group. Device groups are defined in two varieties: Basic device groups, which offer minimal functionality and simply provide a basic categorization for discovered devices such as end hosts; and Extended device groups, which allow the enabling and disabling of specialized group features based upon the type of devices in the group. For more information, see the sections beginning with Device Groups and Switch Port Management and Creating Device Groups.
- You can define the required device groups for your deployment; delete those that you do not need. Also, avoid frequent group definition changes, additions, and deletions.
- Keep the Unknown and Name Only device groups; do not delete these device groups.
