A device group is a logical configuration target independent of physical site membership, making it suited to switches distributed among 30 branches. Associate common VLAN and syslog profiles with that group, then assign each switch to its genuine physical site for operational reporting. Confirm that site-level variations such as management addresses or local gateway IPs are not accidentally overwritten. A temporary site falsifies location data, and global scope would apply configurations to more devices than the intended group.
Global scope risks including switches outside the intended thirty. Assigning everything temporarily to one site falsifies location and complicates operational visibility. Device-group scope permits common configuration across real sites without corrupting site membership. Create the profiles under Configuration at Device Groups scope, then apply them to the switch function; keep each switch associated with its actual site.
