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.

Note

Only the options available to the specific switch are displayed. For details about each option, see Create a New Port Type.
For 5520/5720 Universal Switches, VIM and partition mode are configurable at the device level.
LLDP/CDP, MAC locking, STP Priority, BPDU Restrict, BPDU Restrict Recovery, Forwarding Delay, VLAN Attributes, and Max Age are configurable at the device level.
BPDU Restrict and BPDU Recovery settings are found within the STP tab.
