Port Channel Override Configuration

About this task

Profiles can utilize customized port channel configurations as part of their interface settings. Existing port channel profile configurations can be overridden as they become obsolete for specific device deployments.

To define or override a port channel configuration on a profile:

Procedure

  1. Select Configuration → Devices from the web UI.
    The Device Configuration screen displays a list of managed devices or peer controllers, service platforms, or access points.
  2. Select a target device in the lower left-hand side of the UI.
    You can also select a target device by double-clicking it in the list in the Device Configuration screen.
    The selected device's configuration menu displays.
  3. Select Port Channels.
    Click to expand in new window

    Note

    Note

    A blue override icon (to the left of a parameter) defines the parameter as having an override applied. To remove an override go to the Basic Configuration section of the device and click Clear Overrides. This removes all overrides from the device.
  4. Refer to the following to review existing port channel configurations and their status to determine whether a parameter requires an override:
    Name The port channel's numerical identifier assigned when it was created. The numerical name cannot be modified as part of the edit process.
    Type Whether the type is port channel.
    Description A short description (64 characters maximum) describing the port channel or differentiating it from others with similar configurations.
    Admin Status A green check mark means the listed port channel is active and currently enabled with the profile. A red “X” means the port channel is currently disabled and not available for use. The interface status can be modified with the port channel configuration as required.

    After reviewing the configurations of existing port channel interfaces, determine whether a new interface needs to be created, an existing interface needs to be edited (overridden), or an existing interface needs to be deleted.
