Reset a Port

If a port fault is transient, the problem should resolve on its own. You can manually reset the port state by disabling and re-enabling the PoE State setting.

Select Configure > Devices > Switches from the menu.
Select a switch from the list.
The Configure Switch page opens.
Select a port name from the Name column.

Configure Switch Page

The Configure Port page opens.

Edit the fields.

Configure Port

Name

Specify a port name.

Alias

(Optional) Add a user-friendly name as an alias for the port.

Admin State

Specify whether the port will be enabled or disabled.

Function

Specify what the switch port will serve as a connection to APs, Interswitch (uplink), Host (such as a printer), Other, or MLAG Interswitch. If the switch detects an AP using LLDP, the switch will automatically provision the port for that AP. Based on the port role, ExtremeCloud configures VLAN assignments and STP settings (when enabled). You can customize the VLAN settings for Host or Other. MLAG Interswitch is used by MLAG peers to send health-check messages and send MLAG status checkpoint information.

PoE

Enable or disable Power over Ethernet (PoE) as the power source.

VLANs

If the function is set to Host or Other, you can customize the VLAN settings by assigning the port to VLANs, VLAN groups, and categories.

VLANs	(Optional) Assign a VLAN from the drop-down list of available VLANs. Select one or more VLANs to assign or delete. A VLAN can be used in more than one VLAN group.
VLAN Groups	(Optional) VLAN Groups are topology groups that contain one or more VLAN IDs. VLAN groups can be assigned to a port or a group of ports, and each port can have more than one VLAN group assigned to it. Each VLAN group is treated as one entity. A VLAN group can also contain VLANs that have more than one VLAN ID assigned to it.
Categories	(Optional) Add or remove from the selected ports. You can create your own category names.

Untagged Traffic

It is not necessary to include a VLAN tag in a packet that is being transmitted over a VLAN. A packet transmitted without a VLAN tag is said to be untagged. Because there is no way to identify the VLAN to which an untagged packet belongs, there can be only one untagged VLAN on a VLAN trunk.

Tagged Traffic

The authentication process can indicate a specific role applicable to a user, and the policy definition can dictate how the user's traffic will be presented to the network, including the need to tag traffic to a specific VLAN.

PVID

Specifies that the Port VLAN ID (PVID) will be the default VLAN ID assigned to untagged frames coming in to the port.
