38 CHAPTER 3: DEVICE WINDOW
■ Subnets Group — this group contains sub-groups based on the IP
address and subnet mask of the devices present in your inventory file.
Each Subnets group is named using the network address of the
subnet, followed by the subnet mask.
For example, if the devices in your inventory file are on the following
networks: 192.168.1.0 (255.255.255.0) and 192.168.2.0
(255.255.255.0), there will be two sub-groups present under the
'Subnets' group. An example is shown in Figure 11
.
Figure 11 Subnets Group
All sub-groups listed under the 'Subnets' group are sorted according
to network address.
■ VLANs Group — this group contains sub-groups based on the VLAN
membership of the devices in your inventory file. Each VLAN
sub-group is named using the VLAN ID followed by the VLAN name.
For example, if some devices present in your inventory are members of
VLAN 1, named 'Marketing' and other devices present are members
of VLAN 2, named 'Accounting', the sub-groups ‘1 - Marketing’ and
‘2 - Accounting’ would be present in the VLANs Group.
