Create Node Group

In the Device/Node Group Manager, you can now create and manage Device Groups, Link Groups, and also the Node Groups.

Create the node group with the following methods: 1) Dynamic Search Node; 2) Static Node; 3) Exclude Node.

Dynamic Search Node

The Dynamic Search Node method enable you to search for nodes via a pop-up dialog dynamically.

Information Note: The Dynamic Search dialog provides functionality similar to Dynamic Search in ADT, but focuses exclusively on logic nodes and does not support traditional device searches.


  1. Select Dynamic Search Node.
  2. Add a Devices/Nodes branch.
  3. Configure the basic scope of the node.
  4. Click Advanced Filter to refine the scope.
  5. View the search results.

Static Node

You can use the Static Node to select specific nodes from the pop-up dialog. The Cloud/SDN/SD-WAN option is selected by default, with the flexibility to switch to traditional device selection as needed.

  1. Select Static Node.
  2. Define the basic scope of the node.
  3. Choose the specific nodes to include.
  4. View the result.

Exclude Node

Exclude Node option enables you to specify nodes that should be excluded from the node group. Similar to Static Node Selection, Cloud/SDN/SD-WAN is selected by default, with the ability to switch to traditional device selection if required.
