Figure 111 Properties Dialog Box for a Multiple Selection

The tabs shown in the tabbed pane depend upon the items that have been selected:

If the selected items are all of the same type (for example, if they are all physical links, or if they are all devices) then the standard tabs for that type will be shown.

If the selected items are of different types then the General tab will be shown, containing only the Comments section. In addition, if the Security tab would be displayed for any of the selected items if the Properties dialog box was launched for them individually then the Security tab is also displayed.

For example, if three links are selected, one of which is an aggregated link, and the Properties dialog box is launched then the General, Ports, VLANs and Monitoring tabs will be displayed; if a node were added to the selection prior to launching the Properties dialog box then the General and Security tabs would be displayed.
