I'm in the process of doing our initial setup with Cirrus NCM v5. Is there anyway to group my nodes in a tiered structure? For example, we seperate our network into 3 management pieces: Academic, Residential, Core. Under the Academic group I would like my different building that I classify as Academic. Then under each of those buildings I would like all of my equipment for that building. So something like the following:
- Academic
- Building_A
- Switch_a1
- Switch_a2
- Building_B
- Switch_b1
- Switch_b2
- Residential
- Building_X
- Switch_x1
- Switch_x2
- Building_Y
- Switch_y1
- Switch_y2
- Core
- Building C
- Router_c1
- Router_c2
- Firewall_c1
- Building D
- Router_d1
- Router_d2
- Firewall_d1
The best I have been able to figure out so far is to just create these is using the Node Group under each of my devices and add Academic, Residential, Core and then a backslash to sort of seperate them out. Here's what it looks like:
- ACADEMIC\Building_A
- Switch_a1
- Switch_a2
- ACADEMIC\Building_B
- Switch_b1
- Switch_b2
- Residential\Building_X
- Switch_x1
- Switch_x2
- Residential\Building_Y
- Switch_y1
- Switch_y2
- Core\Building_C
- Router_c1
- Router_c2
- Firewall_c1
- Core\Building D
- Router_d1
- Router_d2
- Firewall_d1
Anyone have any good suggestion to be able to group these? I'd love to be able to to put all my Academic equipment in one group, then each of my buildings a sub-group of Academic, then each node would be under its respective building. In theory I should be able to collapse the Academic group and it wouldn't show me any of the sub-groups or nodes under it.
