Modifying the list of selected switches and ports

The first stage of the wizard lists the switches and switch ports on which the VLANs are to be edited and allows you to modify this list. For example, because it is not possible to select unconnected ports on the network map, these can be added at this point in the wizard.

Figure 299 Adding Unconnected Ports

This wizard stage is pre-populated with switches and switch ports, based on the items that were selected on the network map when the wizard was launched. The rules used are the same as those for the corresponding stage in the Create VLAN wizard, namely:

■For each switch in the initial map selection, all ports connected to other switches in the map selection are listed.

■For each non-switch in the map selection, 3Com Network Director will find the nearest switch port to the non-switch and add this switch and port to the list.

■For each link in the map selection, if either of the devices is a switch, it will be processed using the first rule above. If either of the devices in a non-switch, it will be processed using the second rule above.

This wizard stage behaves in a similar manner to the corresponding stage in the Create VLAN wizard – see “Modifying the list of selected switches and ports” on page 539 for details.
