Configure Switch Ports and VLAN

You can configure switch port configuration details and settings at the device level. Switch-level settings always override any port configuration settings that were made in the device template for a network policy. You must first Unlock this page to change the switch-specific port configuration. You can also return to the original template configuration with the Revert option.
