Tab Modifier

If you have a large Aruba Networks deployment then you will know that all Aruba products display the same logo in the browser tab for their web GUI. This also includes their support websites and so often I have a browser with ten tabs all displaying the same icon and with truncated titles. I find this confusing as it makes navigating quickly to a specific server or device quite difficult. This screenshot shows the problem with multiple tabs open from different Aruba Networks products. They all look the same.

The solution I have found is to use a chrome extension called Tab Modifier. It allows custom settings to be applied to the tab based on different parameters. I have configured it to set different coloured icons and abbreviated titles based on the URL of the site. In the example below I have set Airwave to be a purple dot called AW and the Mobility Master is named MM but with the original icon. The red dot is a Mobility Controller and the green for Clearpass. This makes quickly navigating to the required device much easier.
