Creating a Customized Switched Downlink Port Profile

A switched downlink port enables you to connect desktops and phones in a campus or branch environment, or servers in a data center environment.

To create a customized switched downlink port profile, follow these steps:

1. From the task ribbon, select EZ Campus Design > Port Profile > Create Port Profile. This opens the Create Port Profile wizard.
2. Enter a name for the profile in the Profile Name field.
3. Select Switched Downlink Port from the Profile type drop down list. The Profile Details field appears showing information about the customized profile such as the roles or actions that the port will be able to perform after the port profile has been applied to it. This content in this field varies depending on the port profile that you have selected.
4. Enter a description for the customized profile in the Profile Description field.
5. Click Next to open the CoS Settings - Scheduler Map Configuration dialog box. Click Create to save your changes and create a new customized profile. The customized port profile appears on the Port Profile page. Click Cancel to go back to the Port Profile page without creating a new port profile.
6. From the CoS Settings - Scheduler Map Configuration dialog box, use the horizontal slider to vary the bandwidth and buffer size for each scheduler category. You can also select the High Priority checkbox for each category. This causes delay-sensitive traffic, such as voice traffic, to be de-queued and forwarded with minimum delay.

   Note: The cumulative bandwidth and buffer percentages for scheduler categories must always be 100 percent or less. For example, if the total bandwidth percentage already adds up to 100, you must reduce the bandwidth of one of the categories to increase the bandwidth of another.

7. Click Back to go to the previous step of the Customize Switched Downlink Port Profile wizard. Click Create to save your changes and create a new customized profile. The customized port profile appears on the Port Profile page. Click Cancel to go back to the Port Profile page without creating a new port profile.
