To configure a 7210 SAS operational group

Purpose

You can create operational groups for VLANs on supported 7210 SAS NEs. Operational groups provide fault propagation for ports with null, dot1q, and QinQ encapsulation types.

You can assign an L2 uplink port to an operational group. Access ports on the same device can monitor the group. When the L2 uplink port goes down or loses connectivity, the access ports monitoring the group go operationally down. SAPS associated with the affected ports also switch to operationally down.

Perform this procedure to create or modify an operational group. To associate ports with the group, see To configure Ethernet ports .

Steps
 

In the equipment view of the navigation tree, right-click on a 7210 SAS NE and choose Properties. The properties form for the NE opens.


Click on the Globals tab, then on the Oper Group tab.


Click Create, or choose an operational group and click Properties.


Configure the required parameters.

You cannot modify the Displayed Name of an operational group after creation.

Note: Oper Group Member and Open Group LAG Member are mutually exclusive, meaning, the Oper Group can be associated only to a Port or LAG, not both.

Multiple port/LAG can be associated to a monitor an Oper Group.


For existing operational groups, click on the Monitor Oper Group Ports tab to view a list of the ports that are monitoring the group.


For existing operational groups, click on the Monitor Oper Group LAGs tab to view a list of the LAGs that are monitoring the group.


Save your changes and close the form.
