Cisco Prime Infrastructure provides a very easy way to map each of the devices into its own site. There is also an 
ability to create groups based on predefined rules or criteria. Let’s take a look at how to create sites and groups in 

Cisco Prime Infrastructure to help visualize applications in an intuitive manner. 

There are two way of creating sites. If your access points follow a very consistent naming convention, you can 

automatically create a site tree map based on the hostname. The image at left below shows how a device 

hostname separated by hyphens can be used as a delimiter to create a site map tree automatically. 

 

To create automatic site hierarchies go to Design > Automatic Hierarchy Creation. Enter the AP Hostname and 

a suitable regular expression (or generate one as mentioned in the tip below). Click Test to see how the site is 

created from the hostname. Change the pull-down to map to the appropriate campus, building, floor, device, and 

so on. 

 TIP: After entering a sample hostname for an AP, you can click Create basic regex based on delimiter to 

automatically generate the regular expression.
