Creating a Network Element Group

Network element groups exist in a distributed network to perform specific duties.

Use this procedure if you are creating a network element group to perform specific functions in your distributed network. After you create a network group, you can then create network elements to associate with devices such as an MPE or MRA.

To create a network element group:

From the Network section of the navigation pane, select Network Elements.
The content tree displays a list of network element groups; the initial group is ALL.
From the content tree, select the ALL group.
The Network Element Administration page opens in the work area.
Click Create Group.
The Create Group page opens.
Enter the name of the new network element group.
The name can only contain the characters A through Z, a through z, 0 through 9, period (.), hyphen (-), and underline (_). The maximum length is 250 characters.
Enter a text description and location of the network group.
Click Save.

You have created a network element group.
