How to -

add new device aliases to the 2247-N8:

Start at the

Basics > Alias

page.

1. Enter the IP or MAC address of the device:

a. If the device has already connected to the 2247-N8 networks, find and click the device address in the

Device IP Addresses

Device MAC

Addresses

lists.

Note:

If the device that you are defining an alias for uses DHCP to obtain an IP address, associate the new alias with the device’s MAC address. Associ-

ating the alias with the IP address may cause the device alias to be automatically assigned to a different device as it “follows” the dynamically assigned
IP address.

b. If the device has not connected to the 2247-N8 networks, you may type either an IP or MAC address in the

Manual Entry

input field.

2. Type an alias in the

Alias Name

input field.

3. Click the

Add

button. The new alias is added to the Alias List table.

How to -

delete device alias definitions:

You may delete any alias definition by clicking on the associated

Delete

button in the Alias List table. Deleting the alias does not remove the device

from the network, it only removes the alias name from the device - the 2247-N8 will still record the device’s IP or MAC address in logs and mes-
sages.
