If you are changing the mode from Access to Network and services are configured on the port, warnings are displayed in a dialog box, depending on the permissions that are associated with your user role. Perform one of the following:
-
The default warning dialog indicates that the object has dependencies that will be deleted if you apply the port mode change.
-
Click on View Dependencies button to see the dependencies (services and interfaces) associated with the port.
-
Click OK to confirm the configuration change.
Any services and interfaces associated with the port, including SAPs, are deleted, and the mode for the port is changed to Network.
Note:
Changing the port mode from Access to Network without first removing the dependencies results in a TopologyMisconfigured alarm.
-
For users who have the port.RestrictNodeConfigModify permission associated with their role, a warning form appears, indicating that the object has dependencies that must be removed before proceeding.
-
Click on View Dependencies button to see the dependencies (services and interfaces) associated with the port.
-
Click OK to confirm the configuration change.
