Chapter 4 Managing RME Device Groups Using Group Administration
Using RME Group Administration
Types of RME System-defined Groups
The available RME System Groups are:
• All Devices—Contains all devices in RME. This a dynamic read-only group.
• Normal Devices—Contains all devices that have been successfully contacted by RME or the device
has contacted RME at least once (Inventory polling, successful job completion, Syslog receipt etc.).
This indicates that this is a real device in the network (at one point in time). This a dynamic
read-only group.
• Pre-deployed—Contains all devices that are not reachable by RME. This a dynamic read-only
group.
• Previous selection—Contains devices that are selected in previous RME task in the same session.
This group is provided for your convenience in case you need to do different RME tasks on same set
of devices. This a static read-only group.
• Saved device list—Contains all devices that are saved explicitly by you while generating the
Inventory Reports (Reports > Generator). This group is provided for your convenience in case you
need to do different RME tasks on same set of devices. This a static read-only group.
The Previous selection and Saved device groups are RME-specific groups and must be used only when
you are working on a RME application. You cannot use these device groups when you are working on
another CiscoWorks application. That is, if you are working on the Campus Manager application, these
groups must not be used.
See Understanding the RME Device States for more details to understand how the devices are grouped
based on RME System-defined rules.
