FIGURE 5-194 Selecting a Port to add to Bonding Group
• Enable - If the group is disabled, the Enable button is available. Enable drives the ports to an Operational Status of UP, and
then sets the ATM Bonding Group to UP. At this point Port Management will show the root port as Type ATMBOND
and the secondary port will no longer be in the port list.
FIGURE 5-195 Port is Added to Bonding Group and Deleted in Port Management Table
Note: Removing a port from an ATM Bonding Group does not change the ATMBOND Name listed on the ATMBOND tab. This
name is set during the original bonding provisioning and does not change when the ATM Bonding Group is modified.
5.6.30.3 Bonding Group - Viewing and Changing the Port Configuration
Each port in the bonding group has its own Status tab and Rates tab. For the Status tab there are the following options:
• Disable Port - From the Port tab, this disassociates the port from the Bonding group. If one port of the two members is
disabled, the ATMBOND state goes to Up-Up-Degraded, but the group will continue to be in an UP state. Note that in
this scenario the root port could be disabled and the Bonding Group would remain in service (with a Status of
Degraded).
• Enable Port - This associates the port to the bonding group, and once the port is in an Up-Up state, it will join the
Bonding group.
5.6.30.4 De-provision a Port from the Bonding Group
To remove the secondary port from the Group so that it can be used in other applications, use these steps:
1. In the ATM Bond Tab of the Service Management form, select Remove Port.
2. Notice that in the Port Management table, the secondary port reappears.
