Adoption Rules
To avoid a manual process, create adoption rules before you register devices. Adoption rules organize
access points and switches based on preset conditions or rules.
When you are ready to register one or more devices:
1. Create the logical device groups for the access points within a site.
2. Configure the adoption rules that populate the groups.
3. Register the devices.
The APs are organized into the logical sites and device groups automatically, based on the adoption
rule definitions. Switches are associated with the logical sites, but not assigned to device groups.
Rules are evaluated from the top down. Use the up and down arrows to put adoption rules in a
specific order. If the device does not match the criteria of the first adoption rule, then the next rule is
evaluated.
Note
For AP adoption only — In addition to matching rule criteria, the site and device group
configuration must match the AP for the adoption rule to take eect. The AP license
domain must match the site Country, and the AP model number must match the site Type
and device group Profile configuration.

Adoption rules filter on one or more of the following network attributes:
• Model — Matching criteria is a sub-string. For example, if filter criteria is FCC, all APs with FCC in the
model number will match.
• Host Name — Matching criteria is a sub-string.
