Assign System (Freeform)

You can assign system IDs (serial numbers) to systems from the Systems view, the Topology view or from the Device panel.

Assign System(s) (from Systems View)

  1. From the blueprint, navigate to Staged > Physical > Systems and select the check boxes for one or more systems, then click the Change System IDs assignments button.
  2. In the dialog, select system IDs from the drop-down lists (available managed devices). (If you don't see your system, you may still need to acknowledge it.)
    Note:

    You can also set the deploy modes from the same dialog.
  3. Click Update Assignments to stage your changes and return to the Systems view.

Assign System (from Topology Editor)

  1. From the blueprint, navigate to Staged > Physical > Topology and click Edit to open the topology editor.
    CAUTION:

    Be careful. If you click away from the topology editor without clicking Save, your changes are discarded.
  2. In the topology editor, click the system that you want to assign a system ID to, then click the Manage selected nodes properties button. (The screenshot below is from Apstra version 4.1.1).
  3. Select the system ID (serial number) from the System drop-down list (includes available managed devices). (If you don't see your system, you may still need to acknowledge it.)
  4. To close the dialog, click the Manage selected nodes properties button again.
  5. Click Save to stage your changes, exit the topology editor and return to the Topology view. (If you leave the page without saving, your changes are discarded.)

When you're ready to activate your changes, commit them from the Uncommitted tab.

Assign System (from Device Panel)

  1. From the blueprint, navigate to Staged > Physical > Systems and click the name of the system that needs an ID assigned, either from the Topology view or from the Systems view. The Device panel for that system appears.
  2. Click the Edit button for the S/N field.
  3. Select the system ID from the drop-down list (includes available managed devices). (If you don't see your system, you may still need to acknowledge it.)
  4. If you're going to deploy the device, make sure the deploy mode is set to Deploy, then save it.
  5. Click the Save button to stage your changes.

When you're ready to activate your changes, commit them from the Uncommitted tab.
