Chapter 4 Building the Network
How Do I Add and Delete Network Elements?
4.2.5 Copying a Network Element from One Group to Another
Groups for multiple NEs can easily be created in Cisco MGM. For information about creating groups,
see Section 4.3 How Do I Build Groups? The same NE can be copied into different groups.
Step 1 In the Domain Explorer Hierarchy pane, select the NE to be copied.
Step 2 Choose Edit > Copy (or click the Copy tool). This copies the NE to the clipboard. (Notice that the NE
ID now appears in italics).
Step 3 Select the group or management domain node where the NE will be pasted and choose Edit > Paste (or
click the Paste tool). This pastes the contents of the clipboard under the selected node.
Note An NE cannot be pasted into the Discovered Network Elements or Deleted Network Elements
group. Also, it cannot be pasted into a group where the same instance of the NE already exists.
Tip The drag-and-drop feature can also be used to copy NEs. Hold down the Ctrl key on the keyboard and
use the mouse to drag and drop the NE to a new location.
Topology modification using drag and drop or copy, cut and paste is not allowed for users with Assign
NEs property (Provisioner, Operator, and custom user profile) since they cannot see the entire domain.
Note Since they cannot see the entire domain, users with the Assign NEs property (Provisioner, Operator, and
some custom user profiles) are not allowed to modify topology using copy, cut, paste, or drag and drop.
4.2.6 Moving a Network Element from One Group to Another
Cisco MGM provides drag-and-drop capabilities to allow you to easily move NEs from one group to
another.
Step 1 In the Domain Explorer Hierarchy pane, select the NE to be moved.
Step 2 Choose Edit > Cut, then Edit > Paste. You can also use the mouse to drag and drop the selected NE to
a new location.
Note You are not allowed to copy or move NEs into the Discovered Network Elements group.
Note Topology modification using drag and drop or copy, cut and paste is not allowed for users with Assign
NEs property (Provisioner, Operator, custom user profile) since they cannot see the entire domain.
