Managing Classrooms

This page explains how to create and delete classrooms. A classroom represents a physical room containing network devices that you want to manage with Campus WoL.

Role Required: Admin

You need the Admin role to create or delete classrooms.

Prerequisites

  • You must be logged in with an Admin account
  • At least one site must exist before you can create a classroom

What Is a Classroom?

A classroom is a physical room within a site. Each classroom is assigned to a network segment (VLAN) so that Campus WoL knows which network to scan and send wake packets to. Classrooms contain the devices you want to monitor and wake.

Creating a Classroom

  1. Navigate to Inventory in the Administration sidebar
  2. Click Add Classroom
  3. Fill in the form fields:
    • Name -- A descriptive name for the room (e.g., "Lab 204"). A URL-friendly slug is auto-generated from this name.
    • Site -- Select which site this classroom belongs to
    • VLAN ID -- The VLAN number for this classroom's network segment (see the explanation below)
    • Subnet -- Optional. This field appears in the form but is not currently saved. It is a placeholder for a future feature.
    • Network Interface -- Optional. The network interface used to reach this VLAN. If left blank, it defaults to ens224.{VLAN} (e.g., VLAN 140 becomes ens224.140).
  4. Click Save

The classroom appears under its site in the Sites & Classrooms sidebar tree.

Classroom Creation Form

Capture the add classroom form showing name, site, VLAN, subnet, and network interface fields.

What is a VLAN?

A VLAN is like a separate virtual network. Each classroom is assigned to a VLAN number that identifies which network segment its devices are on. If unsure, ask your network administrator.

Deleting a Classroom

  1. Navigate to Inventory in the Administration sidebar
  2. Locate the classroom you want to remove
  3. Click the Delete button next to the classroom
  4. Confirm the deletion when prompted

Deleting a classroom removes all its devices

When you delete a classroom, all devices registered to that classroom are also removed from inventory. This action cannot be undone.

Limitations

Classrooms cannot be edited after creation. If you need to change the VLAN, network interface, or any other detail, delete the classroom and create a new one. Devices in the deleted classroom will be removed, so you will need to re-add them afterward (or use CSV import/export to speed this up).

Viewing Devices in a Classroom

To see all devices in a classroom, expand the site in the Sites & Classrooms sidebar tree and click the classroom name. The main content area displays all devices with their online/offline status.
