In the Add NEs|Ports|LAGs|Services step, specify network resources for the group, either through inclusion filters or manually:
-
Filter resources based on resource attributes. Select Attribute Filter from the menu, click Add Filter and select a resource attribute. The available attributes varies according to the type of resource group you are configuring (NE, port, LAG, or service).
When the new filter appears in the list, click Add Filter and type an attribute value. You can repeat this step to specify multiple attributes.
-
Filter resources based on advanced filter expressions. Select Advanced Filter from the menu. Type a filter expression in the Filter Contents field, starting with a resource attribute, followed by a Boolean operator and an attribute value. The system suggests possible attributes, operators, and attribute values as you type, and displays error messages in red when an expression is invalid. You can combine attribute-value expressions using AND and OR operators.
If you are creating a filter to include a large number of resources, it is better to specify an attribute with a range of values to include the resources. Specifying a large number of individual resource attribute values linked together with OR operators creates a complex inclusion filter that will burden system resources and possibly cause the import process to fail.
Any IPv6 addresses in an advanced filter expression must be enclosed in single quotation marks (‘ ‘).
When you have finished configuring your filters, click Continue. The filter results are listed in the Review and Adjustments form.
