Specifying Parameters for Applying a Desktop Port Profile to a Port
By provisioning a desktop port profile to a port on the device, you are configuring settings such as the VLAN, port security, and RSTP settings on the port so that you can connect a desktop to a switch port.
To specify parameters in order to apply a desktop port profile to a port, follow these steps:
- From the Profile drop down
list, select Desktop Port. The Port Configuration Parameters panel appears as shown in the
following figure.
- Select the VLAN for data traffic that you want to associate with the port from the Member VLAN drop down list.
- 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.
