Setting the Port Numbers for a Manually Added Link

When a link is manually added to the map, it does not specify which ports or interfaces are being used on the devices it connects. 3Com Network Director lets you enter which ports or interfaces are used for the link.

To specify port information for a manually added link:

1Click on the icon for the link in the 3Com Network Director map to select it.

2Select the Device > Properties menu option to launch the Properties dialog box.

3Click on the Ports tab. This displays the tab shown in Figure 116.

4Click on the Set button and select the unit, if applicable, and port or interface on which the link is connected for the From port in the Add Port dialog box. Click OK. The port or interface being used for the From device is now listed.

5Click on the Set button and select the unit, if applicable, and port or interface on which the link is connected for the To port in the Add Port dialog box. Click OK. The port or interface being used for the To device is now listed.

You can only select a port or interface that is not already connected. If a port or interface is already connected it is not displayed in the list of available ports.

Warning: If the device at one end of the link is not supported or consists of a single port, for example an end-station, there are no ports available so a message is displayed instead of the Add Port dialog box.

6Click on OK in the Properties dialog box to validate your changes.

The port information is now set and the link may now be monitored and configured using 3Com Network Director.
