The Policy tab allows you to group ports into user-defined port groups, similar to the way you can group services into service groups. Port groups enable you to configure multiple ports on the same device or on different devices, simultaneously. A port can be a member of more than one group.
When you create a user-defined port group, you select individual ports to add to the group.
The Policy tab also provides you with Pre-Defined Port Groups which are automatically populated according to port characteristics. See Pre-Defined Port Groups for more information.
Instructions on:
Creating a Port Group
- In the left panel, select the Devices > Port Groups tab.
- Right-click on the Port Groups folder and select Create Port Group. This opens the Create window.
- Enter a Name and select OK.
Adding Ports to a Port Group
You can add ports directly from the port group:
- Select the left-panel Devices > Port Groups tab. Expand the User-Defined Port Groups folder and select a port group.
- Right-click the port group and select Add/Remove Ports from the menu.
- In the Add/Remove Ports window, select the ports you want to add to the port group in the Devices list and select Add to Group to move the port to the Group Port Membership list.
- Select OK.
Removing Ports from a Port Group
This procedure applies to user-defined port groups.
- In the left-panel Devices > Port Groups tab, right-click the port group from which you wish to remove a port, and select Add/Remove Ports.
- In the Add/Remove Ports window, select the ports you want to remove from the port group, and select Remove.
- Select OK.
Alternatively, you can right-click a single port under the port group in the left panel or multiple ports in the right-panel Ports tab, and select Remove Port(s) from Group.
