Chapter 6: Devices, Device Groups, and Ports
Describe Method versus Select Method
Use the describe method when you want your group to be based on some
attribute of the node or devices, such as the categories and elements. The
advantage of the describe method is that when you add more devices or
nodes with the same attributes as described, they will be pulled into the
group automatically.
Use the select method when you just want to create a group of specific
nodes manually. New nodes and devices added to CC-SG are not pulled
into these groups automatically. You must manually add the new nodes or
devices to the group after you add them to CC-SG.
These two methods cannot be combined.
Once a group is created with one method, you must edit it using the same
method. Switching methods will overwrite the current group settings.
