Table 7-3 Network Device Page Field Descriptions
Option Description
Name User-specified name of network devices in ACS. Click a name to edit the associated network device
(see Displaying Network Device Properties, page 7-14).
IP Address Display only. The IP address or subnet mask of each network device. The first three IP addresses appear
in the field, each separated by a comma (,).
If this field contains a subnet mask, all IP addresses within the specified subnet mask are permitted to
access the network and are associated with the network device definition.
When you use subnet masks, the number of unique IP addresses depends on the number of IP addresses
available through the subnet mask. For example, a subnet mask of 255.255.255.0 means you have 256
unique IP addresses.
You can see the excluded IP address next to the specified IP address if any.
NDG: string Network device group. The two predefined NDGs are Location and Device Type. If you have defined
additional network device groups, they are listed here as well.
Description Display only. Descriptions of the network devices.
