To create a port template

Before you begin

Perform this procedure to create a port template on an NE, Release 15.0 R4 or later, that supports Ethernet satellites. A port template allows the satellite port type to be configured as client or uplink. A port template can only be edited or deleted if it is not associated to an active satellite.

Steps
 

On the equipment tree, right-click on the NE with the Ethernet satellite shelf and choose Properties.


Click on the Port Templates tab and click Create. The Satellite Port Template Create form opens.


Configure the required parameters.


Save your changes and close the form.


Click on the Satellite Port Template and click Properties. The Satellite Port Template form opens.


Set the Admin State parameter to Down and configure the rest of the required parameters on the General tab.


Click on the Ports tab, click on a Satellite Physical Port Id, and click Properties.


Set the Port Role parameter.

For 100 GE client ports, 1/1/c3/1 and 1/1/c4/1 must both have the same roles.

Role of none means the port is neither a data port nor uplink satellite port.

For 10 GE uplink port template, you must set the 100 GE ports to role of none, and there is a maximum of 16 sequential 10 GE ports that can be configured as uplink ports.


Configure the other parameters, as required.
