Using the Device Summary Report

The

Device Summary Report

identifies devices that are the most or least used devices, and a comprehensive list

of all devices. One potential use of this report is to establish more equal bandwidth distribution across multiple

devices. This report contains the following five lists of devices.

Table 136

I Daily Configuration Audit Report

Field

Description

Name

Displays the device name for every device on the network. Clicking a given device name in this column allows

you to display device-specific configuration.

Folder

Displays the folder in which the device is configured in AWMS. Clicking the folder name in this report displays

the

APs/Devices > List

page for additional device, folder and configuration options.

Group

Displays the group with which any given device associates. Clicking the group for a given device takes you to

the

Groups > Monitor

page for that specific group, to display graphical group information, modification options,

alerts, and an audit log for the related group.

Mismatches

This field displays configuration mismatch information. When a device configuration does not match ideal

configuration, this field displays the ideal device settings compared to current settings.
