Bulk Edit Ports

Before you begin

During bulk port operations, change the Pagination to cover more ports on the page as only the ports listed on the current page are updated.

About this task

XCO 3.5.0 and later releases support multiple or bulk port edits.

Procedure

In the Navigation menu, select Device Inventory.
In the Devices page, click anywhere in the required device row except the Actions column () to proceed to the device Overview page.
In the Device Config menu, select Policies and Configuration > Ports.
The list of ports is displayed.
Select the check boxes for the ports you want to edit.
Select Edit from the ports table menu ().
Take the following steps to edit the selected ports configuration.
1. (SLX and 9920 only) In the Forward Error Correction (FEC) field, select one of the following:
  - Auto-negotiation: Selects the appropriate algorithm automatically.
  - FC-FEC: An algorithm that corrects errors in a block of data, with lower latency than RS-FEC.
  - RS-FEC: An algorithm that corrects errors in a block of data, with better error correction than FC-FEC.
  - Disabled: Disables the FEC feature.
  FEC corrects errors in data without the need for retransmission of the data. Port speed determines which FEC configuration is supported.
  - For 100G ports, RS-FEC, Auto-negotiation, and Disabled are supported.
  - For 25G ports, RS-FEC, FC-FEC, Auto-negotiation, and Disabled are supported.
  - For 40G and 10G ports, only Disabled is supported.
  - (9920 only) Though you can select an FEC value for 400G during bulk port edit, it fails eventually as FEC value change is not supported for 400G.
  Note
  FEC can be updated only when the port is in shutdown state.
2. (9920 only) To enable communication between two Ethernet devices, select Link Fault Signaling (LFS).
  Link Fault Signaling is a physical layer protocol that enables a port to report fault conditions on inbound and outbound ports.
3. Select Enable to change the port admin status to Up.
  When you select this field, you initiate the no shutdown command on the device, which changes the admin status to Up. When the field is not selected, the shutdown command runs on the port and the admin status changes to Down.
Select Save.
A notification is displayed to show the status of the edited ports.
