Configure Device Ports

About this task

You can configure port configuration details and settings at the device level. Device 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 in order to change the device-specific port configuration. You can also return to the original template configuration with the Revert option.
