Port groups

Port groups allow you to group ports together across network devices to perform common

port-based configuration and monitoring activities.

Once configured you can use port groups to perform the following:

• Deploy common configurations to all ports in a group.

• Collect port usage data for all ports in a group.

You can see all port groups; however, under each group, you can only see devices that belong to

your area of responsibility (AOR). You can only see user-defined port groups that belong to your

AOR.

Instructions for managing port groups are detailed in Chapter 4, “Management Groups” and

include information about the following:

• “Creating a port group” on page 122

• “Editing a port group” on page 123

• “Duplicating a port group” on page 124

• “Viewing port group properties” on page 125

• “Deleting a port group” on page 126
