Setting The Port Numbers For A Manually Added Link - 3Com 3C15500 - Network Director User Manual

Setting the Port Numbers for a Manually Added Link

When a link is manually added to the map, it does not specify which
ports or interfaces are being used on the devices it connects. 3Com
Network Director lets you enter which ports or interfaces are used for the
link.
To specify port information for a manually added link:
1 Click on the icon for the link in the 3Com Network Director map to select
it.
2 Select the Device > Properties menu option to launch the Properties
dialog box.
3 Click on the Ports tab. This displays the tab shown in
4 Click on the Set button and select the unit, if applicable, and port or
interface on which the link is connected for the From port in the Add Port
dialog box. Click OK. The port or interface being used for the From device
is now listed.
5 Click on the Set button and select the unit, if applicable, and port or
interface on which the link is connected for the To port in the Add Port
dialog box. Click OK. The port or interface being used for the To device is
now listed.
You can only select a port or interface that is not already connected. If a
port or interface is already connected it is not displayed in the list of
available ports.
Warning: If the device at one end of the link is not supported or consists
of a single port, for example an end-station, there are no ports available
so a message is displayed instead of the Add Port dialog box.
6 Click on OK in the Properties dialog box to validate your changes.
The port information is now set and the link may now be monitored and
configured using 3Com Network Director.
