Configuring Wireless Client Groups

WhatsUp Gold Wireless allows you to create customized client groups based on MAC addresses or MAC prefixes. These groups can be beneficial for hardware comparison and tracking purposes. Client groups can be configured to represent device owners by name, company department (Development, IT, Quality Assurance), vendors or manufacturers (Dell, HP, Apple), device types (tablets, smartphones, laptops), or any other categorization you find beneficial. Additionally, a single device can reside in multiple groups to provide more comprehensive organizational options for wireless clients monitored by WhatsUp Gold.

Wireless Client Group Usage Examples

The Wireless Client Groups application setting interface allows you to manage user-created client groups consisting of wireless infrastructure devices on your network. Entries in a Client Group can be the specific/individual MAC address of one client device, or the MAC prefix shared by multiple devices.

To view, create, modify, or delete client groups, click Manage to launch an interface displaying a table of existing client groups appears. For detailed client group configuration instructions see Wireless Client Groups Interface.
