Changing Port Groups

As you add and remove devices and modules, you will need to create new port groups and change existing port groups.

By default, Prime Infrastructure creates rule-based port groups and assigns ports or interfaces to the appropriate Port Group folder. You cannot edit these port groups. You can view the rules for the port group by resting your cursor on the port group folder.

You can create a new port group which can be one of two types:

•Static—You create and name a new port group to which you can add devices using the Add to Group button from Design > Port Grouping.

•Dynamic—You create and name a new port group and specify the rules to which ports or interfaces must comply in order to be added to this port group.

Note While there is no limit on the number of rules you can specify for a dynamic group, as the number of rules increases, the group update performance could become slower.

Creating Port Groups

To create a new dynamic port group:

Step 1 Choose Design > Port Grouping.

Step 2 In the Port Groups menu on the left, click the Settings icon, then click Create Group.

Step 3 Enter the name, description. and parent group if applicable.

Step 4 Uncheck Save as a Static Group so you can specify rules to which all ports or interfaces must comply to be added to the group. You can click Save as a static group if you want to manually add the ports or interfaces to the group and not have the group be rule-based.

Step 5 If you are creating a dynamic port group, enter the required information, then click Save.

The port group you created appears under the User Defined folder.

Deleting a Port Group

To delete a port group:

Step 1 Choose Design > Port Grouping.

Note If you are deleting a static port group, make sure the static port group does not contain any subgroups or members.

If you are deleting a dynamic port group, make sure the dynamic port group does not contain any subgroups; however, the dynamic group can be associated with members.

Step 2 Rest your cursor on the name of the name of the port group you want to delete, then click Delete Group.
