Cloud Managed Networks

Hello everyone. We have linked a Central and Activate and every device in Activate is now in the inventory in Central. I thought only devices in the default folder were supposed to be imported into the Central inventory but every device is in the list. Is this correct? Is there a way in Activate of only sending some devices to Central?

No this is not possible. Central syncs the entire device inventory between your Activate and Cental account.

All devices are synced without a license assigned, unless you activate auto-assignment in your Gobal Settings. Only when you assign a license on Central, it will establish a connection to Central.

If you pay close attention on Activate, a device is actually moved from the default folder to another folder, once you assign the Device Management license. This folder has the provisioning rules configured.

Thanks for the reply.

I spoke to Aruba TAC and they have put a feature request in to see if it is possible to only see if only devices in a certain folder are sent to Central.

Definitely a reasonable enhancement. Thanks for raising the point.
