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:
- In the Ethernet Activator task ribbon, select the Prestage Devices workspace icon.
- In the task ribbon, select the Manage Device Roles task icon.
- 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:
- In the Assign Roles screen, select the device for which you want to manage UNIs.
- Open the Actions drawer and 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:

- In
the Manage Device UNIs screen, select the UNI you want to exclude.
To exclude more than one UNI, use the multiple selection capability.
- Open the Actions drawer and select Exclude from UNI Role.
- Open the Actions drawer and select Return to Assign Roles to return to the Assign Roles screen.
