698 Group Operations
Batch Operations
Global operations essentially do the same thing to the entire group. Batch operations do group-,
device- or instance-specific actions. Screens that appear in batch operations depend on the devices
in the group, and what they support. You can select the device from the pick list that appears in this
subsequent screen.
Figure 22-6. Group Operations: Batch Screen
You can use the arrows to the right of the pick list to step through the list, and the circular arrow to
refresh the batch data for the currently selected managed object. The icons next to each device
change from red to green when you have completed the device’s screen.
Typical batch operations include Port Configuration, BGP, IS-IS, OSPF, RIP. Select members in the
group, and modify the subsequent screens that appear as appropriate for the configuration you
want sent in the batch operation to the selected group.
Save and Execute Options
The next screen lets you select options for saving, executing, and viewing operations you have
specified.

Status
