Set Up Sites
A site is a geographical grouping of network devices, which can be used as device scopes, asset filters, and map/topology views. For example, you can divide your network into a hierarchy of sites based on country, state, city, region, and office location.
There 2 types of Sites:
-
Container Site (
) — A parent site that contains leaf sites and other container sites. No devices are directly nested under a container site.
-
Leaf Site (
) — A child site that contains devices. The devices can be added manually or searched dynamically. One device can only belong to a leaf site.
Site Manager is the central place where you can add new sites and edit existing sites.

- In Site Manager, you can manage your sites by adding more sites, rebuilding sites, exporting sites, deleting sites, and more.

Tip: a given device can only be assigned to one leaf site, meaning that site members are exclusive for each site. If you wish to assign a given device to multiple sites for specific usage, please go to Device Group for more details. |
