Define Role

In this node, you will select a subset of devices from the devices discovered in the current feature and assign different roles to these devices. You have to define unique command diagnostics for each role within the Golden Intent. This process ensures that device roles are assigned accurately based on the specific characteristics detected in the Feature Instances.

You can add active device row and standby device row.

The Role table consists of following columns:

• Device Role: Displays the name of the role.
• Associated Instance: Displays the count of the Feature instances belonging to this Role. You can view the associated instances by clicking on the number.
• Representative Device: Displays the count of representative devices associated with this role.
  

By default, the All Devices Role is displayed, it includes all the devices associated with Feature Instances calculated in the node Calculate Feature Instance. The All Device Role cannot be modified or deleted.

Add a New Role

To add a new device role, follow these steps.

1. Click the +New Device Role link.
2. Enter the Role Name and Role Description in their respective text fields.
3. Device Scope via Reference Cluster: Select a reference cluster.
4. Define a criteria to refine the feature instance filter and retrieve the applicable devices from the device scope list.
   
5. Click the Representative Device number to see the specific Representative devices. The reference devices are identified based on combination of selected parameters (Device Type, Model, Software Version). By default, Device Type is selected in the filter.
   
6. Click Calculate All Roles button to recalculate the associations between all roles and feature instances. The calculation process uses the instance results from the Calculate Feature Instance node.

Note: When you modify the role definition, a asterisk  (*) symbol appears on the Calculate All Roles button as a reminder to recalculate the Roles.
