7. For AP adoption rules only — specify a device group.
When using a Pattern-Based site, manually enter the device group name. Configure a device group
name using Pattern-Based variables: FQDN or DNS-Sux. For example, AP510_$FQDN[x:y] or
AP510_$DNS-SUFFIX[x:y], or provide an explicit device group name. You can use an explicit
device group name with a Pattern-Based site.
Note
It is important that you configure the Pattern-Based matching variables using a consistent
naming convention that matches the names of your existing sites and device groups. For
more information and examples, see Pattern-Based Matching on page 282.
8. Select a filter parameter, and then select .
