This method creates groups by defining a range of IP addresses to be used by each group and then registering managed device groups on the basis of the IP address value.

To register managed device groups using the IP addresses in the inventory information:

1. Log in to Asset Information Manager Subset.
   Start the Web browser and specify http://host-name/jp1asset/login.htm as the URL. For Host name, specify the host name of the server where Asset Information Manager Subset has been installed.
   For User ID and Password, specify dm_admin.
   
2. Create groups.
   Create groups according to the group hierarchies. To create groups, use the Group and User job menu. For details about how to create groups, see 10.7.1 Changing user and group information (Group and User) in the manual Administrator's Guide Volume 1.
   
3. Group IP addresses for each group.
   For each group created in step 2, define the range of IP addresses and create a group. To define a group of IP addresses, use the IP Group job menu. For details about how to define a group of IP addresses for each group, see 10.7.4 Changing IP group information (IP Group) in the manual Administrator's Guide Volume 1.
   

By creating groups and then a group of IP addresses for each group, you can register information about the managed groups in each device when the inventory information is loaded to the Asset Information Manager Subset database.
