Creating a Site

Prerequisites

You have logged in to the Huawei Qiankun console and have the site management permission of the device lifecycle management service.

Context

Huawei Qiankun provides the site management function to facilitate network management. A site is a collection of devices located in the same administrative domain, either physically or logically. Network quality and security evaluation is performed on a per-site basis, achieving unified device monitoring and management.

When a new tenant account is created, the system automatically creates a default site named default-site-First eight characters of the device UUID. This site supports Qiankun Shield devices and firewalls, and can be edited and deleted.

Procedure

  1. Create a site.

    1. Choose Resources Center > Site Management in the menu bar, and click Create. Alternatively, click + Create Site on the console homepage. The Create Site dialog box is displayed.
    2. Set a site name, device types, and site location, and click OK.

  2. Manage sites.

    You can search for, modify, and delete sites, as described in Table 1. For a site in the cloud managed network scenario, you can also view network devices at this site and configure services for it.
