How to Assign a Default Role to a Port

---

In the Policy tab, you can specify a default role for the port. To configure ports you use the Set Default Role window.

Assigning and Clearing a Default Role

Configuring a port allows you to set the port mode, establish login settings, set the default role, and enables you to view the current configuration on the port.

Assigning Default Roles to Ports

	NOTE:	Setting a default role on an ExtremeWireless Controller port that is not yet a VNS, creates a new VNS on the wireless controller.

1. Select a device in the left-panel Devices tab and expand a slot or ports grouping in the right-panel Details view.
2. Right-click the desired port and select Policy > Set Default Role from the menu. The Set Default Role window opens.
3. Select Assign/Replace Default Role and select a role in the drop-down list.
4. Select OK.

Clearing Default Roles from Ports

You can clear the default role from a single port, or from multiple ports.

1. Select a device in the left-panel Devices tab and expand a slot or ports grouping in the right-panel Details view.
2. Right-click the desired port and select Policy > Set Default Role from the menu. The Set Default Role window opens.
3. Select Clear Default Role.
4. Select OK.

	NOTE:	If you are replacing the current default role with another one, you don't need to clear the current default role. Selecting the new default role and selecting OK clears the previous default role automatically.
