Configuring and graphing ports

This chapter describes how you use Device Manager to configure and graph ports on a BayStack 380-24F Switch.

The windows displayed when you configure a single port differ from the ones displayed when you configure multiple ports. However, the options are similar.

Viewing and editing a single port configuration

To view or edit the configuration of a single or multiple ports:

1Double-click on a single port or select the ports you want to edit.

2Do one of the following:

•From the shortcut menu, choose Edit.

•From the Device Manager main menu, choose Edit > Port.

•Double-click on the selected port.

•On the toolbar, click Edit.

Note: When you edit a single port, tabs that are not applicable are not available for you to select.

When you edit multiple ports, some tabs are not available, and some tabs are available even though the options are not applicable. When the option does not apply for a given port, NoSuchObject is displayed.
