Overview

For example, creating a site for a new office building or campus allows centralized management of devices and configurations specific to that location.

Use Case Examples

1. Create a site named 'Building A' with address '123 Main St' to manage network devices and configurations specific to that building.
2. Add geographical details such as city, state, country, latitude, and longitude to a site for precise location tracking and management.
