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
1 |
On the equipment tree, right-click on the NE with the Ethernet satellite shelf and choose Properties. |
2 |
Click on the Port Templates tab and click Create. The Satellite Port Template Create form opens. |
3 |
Configure the required parameters. |
4 |
Save your changes and close the form. |
5 |
Click on the Satellite Port Template and click Properties. The Satellite Port Template form opens. |
6 |
Set the Admin State parameter to Down and configure the rest of the required parameters on the General tab. |
7 |
Click on the Ports tab, click on a Satellite Physical Port Id, and click Properties. |
8 |
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. |
9 |
Configure the other parameters, as required. |
10 |
Save your changes and close the form. |
11 |
Associate the port template to a satellite. See To associate a port template on an Ethernet satellite shelf. End of steps |
