Excluding Interfaces from UNI Role Assignments

To exclude interfaces from the list of interfaces that the prestaging rules determined were suitable for use as UNIs, follow these steps:

  1. In the Ethernet Activator task ribbon, select the Prestage Devices workspace icon.
  2. In the task ribbon, select the Manage Device Roles task icon.
  3. In the task ribbon, select the Assign Roles task icon.

    The results of the most recent role discovery operation appear, including any changes you have subsequently made to your prestaging data.

    Repeat steps 4 through 9 for each device for which you want to exclude some recommended UNI selections:

  4. In the Assign Roles screen, select the device for which you want to manage UNIs.
  5. In the Actions panel, select Manage Device UNIs.

    The Manage Device UNIs screen shows all the device interfaces for the selected device and indicates those that the Ethernet Activator software recommends for use as UNIs. The following graphic provides an example:
