Edit Configuration of Ports

You can edit the configuration of a port either by using a port profile or manually.

If a profile is already deployed, edit the profile, and then redeploy for the changes to take effect.

When using a port profile to edit ports, you can:

• assign a port profile or modify the profile assigned to the port

• modify the VLANs assigned to the port

5. For the Type field, do one of the following:

   • Click Run now to save the edited configuration in CSO and commit the edited configuration on the switch.

   If you select the Run now option, a job is created to deploy the profile at once; otherwise, the job to deploy is created on the date and at the time that you scheduled.

   During the deployment (that is when the deploy is executing), the Deployment status of the port is set to Pending Deployment, on the Ports tab of the Devices page.

   If the deployment job completes successfully:

   • A message appears on the top of the Ports page indicating that the deployment is successful.

   • Deployment Status of the port is set to Deployed.

   • The Port Profile column displays:

     • the profile name when a port profile is used for editing.

     • Manually Configured when the configuration is manually edited.
