To avoid this manual process, create AP adoption rules before you register the devices. AP adoption
rules organize your devices based on preset conditions or rules.
When you are ready to register one or more APs:
1 Create the logical device groups within a site.
2 Configure the adoption rules that populate the groups.
3 Register the APs.
The APs are automatically organized into the logical device groups based on the adoption rule
definitions. Rules are evaluated from the top down. Use the up and down arrows to put adoption
rules in a specific order. If the AP does not match the criteria of first adoption rule, then the next rule
is evaluated.
Note
In addition to matching rule criteria, the site and device group configuration must match
the AP for the adoption rule to take eect. The AP license domain must match the site
Country, and the AP model number must match the site Type and device group Profile
configuration.

Adding or Editing Adoption Rules
Create adoption rules that filter on one or more of the following network attributes:
•
AP Model — Matching criteria is a sub-string. For example, if filter criteria is FCC, all APs with FCC in
the model number will match.
•
Host Name — Matching criteria is a sub-string.
•
IP Address / CIDR — Enter a single IP address for each rule. The range for CIDR is 0 to 32. If the CIDR
is 0, the IP address will not be used as a matching criteria.
•
AP Serial Number — Matching criteria must be exact string. Enter a single serial number for each
rule.
Note
To successfully match an adoption rule, all specified parameters must match.
To add or edit an adoption rule:
