Comparing Device Groups
You can compare two existing device groups with a detailed line-item comparison. Group comparison allows
several levels of analysis to include the following:
Compare performance, bandwidth consumption, or troubleshooting metrics between two groups.
Debug one device group against the settings of a similar and better performing device group.
Use one group as a model by which to fine-tune configurations for additional device groups.
This topic presumes that at least two device groups are at
least partly configured in AWMS, each with saved
configurations. Perform the following steps to compare two existing device groups:
1. From the Gr
oups > List page, click Compare two groups. Two drop-down menus appear.
2. Select the two groups to compare to each other in
the drop-down menus, and click Compare. The Compare
page appears, displaying some or many configuration categories. Figure 68 illustrates this page.

3. Note the following factors when using the Compar
e page:
The Compare page can be very long or very abbreviated, depending on how many configurations the
device groups share or do not share.
When a configuration differs between two groups, the setting is flagged in red text for the group on the
right.
The default setting of the Compare page is to highlight settings that differ between two groups.
To display settings that are similar or identical between two device groups, click Show Similar Fields at
the top left of the page. The result may be a high volume of information.
Click Hide Similar Fields to return to the default display, emphasizing configuration settings that
differ between two groups.
