Chapter 4 Building the Network
How Do I Build Groups?
4.2.8 Restoring a Deleted Network Element
You can restore an NE to its previous location in the Domain Explorer Hierarchy pane from the Deleted
Network Elements group.
Step 1 In the Domain Explorer Hierarchy pane, click the Deleted Network Elements group.
Step 2 Click the NE that will be restored.
Step 3 Choose Edit > Undelete.
All instances of the NE are restored to their previous locations in the Domain Explorer Hierarchy pane.
Note If the original parent group no longer exists, Cisco MGM does not recreate the group. Instead,
Cisco MGM restores the NE under the management domain node.
The Deleted Network Elements group is seen by users who have add_delete_NE_group operation
permission. You can purge or undelete an NE that is in the Deleted Network Elements group only if that
NE was assigned to you.
4.3 How Do I Build Groups?
A group is a collection of objects which are related in some way; for example, they may all be the same
type of equipment or all belong to the same customer.
NEs in the Domain Explorer are organized in groups, which are comprised of NEs and/or other groups.
NEs are often grouped geographically or by domain. The same NE or group can be assigned to different
groups.
The Group Properties pane displays information about the group that is currently selected in the Domain
Explorer Hierarchy pane. Table 2-1 describes the Status tab fields. Table 2-2 describes the Identification
tab fields.
This section contains the following information:
• 4.3.1 Adding Groups
• 4.3.2 Copying Groups
• 4.3.3 Moving Groups
• 4.3.4 Deleting Groups
4.3.1 Adding Groups
Step 1 Select a node or group in the Domain Explorer Hierarchy pane.
Note Adding a new group to the Discovered NEs or Deleted NEs group is not allowed.
Step 2 Choose File > New Group (or click the Add a New Group tool). The New Group dialog box appears.
