Specifying Parameters for Applying a Switched Downlink Port Profile to a Port

By provisioning a switched downlink port profile to a port on the device, you are configuring settings such as the VLAN, port security, and CoS settings on the port so that you can connect desktops and phones in a campus or branch environment, or servers in a data center environment.

To specify parameters in order to apply a switched downlink port profile to a port, follow these steps:

1. From the Profile drop down list, select Switched Downlink Port. The Port Configuration Parameters panel appears as shown in the following figure.
   

2. Select the VLANs that you want to associate with the port. You can choose to associate multiple VLANs with the port.

   • To associate all the available VLANs with the port, select the All VLANs option button.
   • To associate selected VLANs with the ports, select the Selected VLAN(s) option button, select the VLANs from the Available column and click the right arrow button to add it to the Selected column. Hold down the Shift key and click to select multiple VLANs from the Available column.
   To remove VLANs from the Selected column, select the VLAN and click the left arrow button. Hold down the Shift key and click to select multiple VLANs from the Selected column.
3. Select the native VLAN that you want to associate with the port from the Native VLAN drop down list.
4. After you have selected the parameters, click OK. The provisioned port will now be displayed in a different color.

   Note: When you click Configure, all existing configurations on the selected port are permanently removed. The selected port will only have the newly applied configuration.

   The Applied Profiles list displays all the profiles that have been applied to the ports of the selected device. Double click a profile on the Applied Profile list to view the summary of the selected port profile.

   Click View All Profiles to open the Profile Details dialog box which lists out all the available port profiles. Click a port profile to view a description of the port profile along with details about the functions that can be performed by a port that is configured with this profile. An example of the Profile Details dialog box is as follows.

   
   

   To remove a port profile from a port, select the port on the chassis view and click Remove.
