ADDING DEVICES, DEVICE GROUPS AND PORT GROUPS
CREATING A PORT GROUP
A port group is a set of ports that have something in common, and can be manipulated
as a unit. A port group may contain ports from many different switches. Unlike device
groups, there is no default port group, and ports do not need to be members of a group.
However, they can belong to only one port group at a time. Port groups are useful as
policy objects, allowing a single policy definition to apply to multiple ports, even across
devices.
To create a port group, follow these steps:
1 Click the Add button at the top of the Inventory Manager main window.
Select the appropriate tab to display the Port Groups window, as shown in
Figure 5-11.
