Creating a Customized Desktop Port Profile
A desktop port enables you to connect a desktop to a switch port.
To create a customized desktop port profile, follow these steps:
- From the task ribbon, select EZ Campus Design > Port Profile > Create Port Profile. This opens the Create Port Profile wizard.
- Enter a name for the profile in the Profile Name field.
- Select Desktop 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.
- Enter a description for the customized profile in the Profile Description field.
- Click Next to open the Ethernet Switching Options 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.
- From the Ethernet Switching Options dialog box, use the Broadcast limit horizontal slider to vary the maximum network bandwidth that can be used for broadcast and multicast traffic. For example, a broadcast limit of 5 percent indicates that the bandwidth allocated is 5,000 Kbps in a Fast Ethernet interface, 5,0000 Kbps in a Gigabit Ethernet interface, and 5,00000 Kbps in a 10 Gigabit Ethernet interface.
- Click Back to go to the previous step of the Customize Desktop 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.
