Wireless device discovery
The Management application enables you to discover individual wireless devices or multiple
wireless devices using a discovery profile.
NOTE
Wireless access points in adaptive mode cannot be discovered by the Management application.
Instructions for discovering IP devices are detailed in Chapter 3, “Discovery” and include
information about the following:
• “Configuring a discovery profile” on page 67
• “Adding an IP device to discovery” on page 87
After discovery, the Management application inspects the SNMP trap recipient and syslog recipient
registration on wireless controllers. If there is an error with the registration, a Master Log event
displays as a Warning event. The Warning event provides the reason for the error to enable you to
fix the problem.

• IP Inventory
• IP Status
• AP Status

NOTE
Wireless access points in adaptive mode do not display in the dashboard.

Port groups

port-based configuration and monitoring activities.
Once configured you can use port groups to perform the following:

• Collect port usage data for all ports in a group.
