Assigning Gateways to Sites

A site in Aruba Central refers to a physical location where a set of devices are installed; for example, campus, branch, or a venue. You can create a branch or campus site; for example Branch A or Campus A, for a specific geographical location and assign devices to it. You can use these sites as filters for viewing your deployment topology, monitoring network and device health.

    • Click All Devices to view all devices.
