Chapter 1 Using Device Groups and Device Locations
Working with Device Groups
(the default AllWAASGroup and the new device group you create). If you only want a device to belong
to a device group that you create, make sure that you remove the device from the default
AllWAASGroup. WAAS Express devices automatically join the default AllWAASExpressGroup device
group when they are registered with the Central Manager.
WAAS devices and WAAS Express devices cannot be mixed in the same device group. You choose the
device group type when you create the group and it cannot be changed. When you create a WAAS
Express type of device group, you can copy policies from an existing WAAS or WAAS Express group,
but policies cannot be copied after creation.

are assigned to this group.
