Ports

Ports menu option allows the user to edit the physical and switching parameters of an Ethernet ports (L2 ports) on a Service Switch, GPON ports, and PDH ports. Ethernet ports include ETH physical as well as ETH logical ports namely CEM-ETH on a Service Switch. Editing WAN/VCG port parameters is not supported.

- Node/IP: To filter ports based on node name enter the node name in text box or to search based on node IP, select the check box and then enter the IP Address in the text box. On entering a character, the list related to that character is displayed and the user can select from the options.
- Switch: This field is editable when the user enters the IP. Select the switch number from the drop down menu. This parameter is displayed only for L2 ports.
- Slot: Select the slot number from the drop down option to search the port based on the slot in which the port is present in a node. This parameter is displayed only for PDH ports.
- Capacity: Select the port capacity from drop down option to search the port. This parameter is displayed only for PDH ports.
- Port: To filter ports based on usability, select the desired option from the Port drop down list.
  > Used: If any object is configured on an ETH port, then the port will be shown in Used ports category.
  
  > Free: If no object is configured on an ETH port, then the port will be shown in Free ports category.
