Add latitude & longitude as possible device location values

Our University campus consists of multiple sites where there are many buildings that all share the same street address. This will make it difficult to put specific buildings and their associated devices onto a dashboard map, as it appears that currently \'\'location\'\' is limited to a street address.

The Juniper switches on which we rely have a location OID that specifically accepts latitude and longitude coordinates. It would be great if LM were able to read this and be able to place the devices (and/or Groups) onto maps. And, would also be great if group membership could be dynamic based on a device\'s discovered lat/long coordinates.

  • Well, after experimenting with the input format of the lat/long coordinates, Ive found that a group or device will appear on a map where expected. So that part of my request is done!rnStep 2 then, is to see if LM can be set up to read the OID where our Juniper devices lat/long is configured and allow us to include them in groups dynamically based on lat/long?
