Add a Port Group

This function allows you to add a port group.

Operation Procedure

1. Click the Resource tab, and select View Management > Port Group from the navigation tree.
2. Click Add.
3. Enter an interface view name and description, and configure operator groups that can access the interface view.
4. Configure whether to automatically add new interfaces to the interface view. If Based on Specified Rule is selected from the Automatically Add New Interfaces list, configure the Interface Alias Rule field. In the Select Interfaces area, click Add to add interfaces.
5. Click OK.

Precautions

• A port group can accommodate up to 1000 interfaces.
• The name of a port group must be unique.
• You can specify the groups of operators who have the access to the port group. The system-defined operator groups (administrator group, maintainer group, and viewer group) are selected by default. To ensure that the current operator can access the port group, verify that the operator group of the operator is selected.
• The interface alias rule is case sensitive and supports asterisks (*) and question marks (?) as wildcards. The asterisk represents any collection of characters and the question mark represents any single character. Interfaces of new devices that match the interface alias rule will be automatically added to the port group. The rule does not apply to existing device interfaces. For example, a device interface with alias InLoopBack0 matches interface alias rules Back*, ?nLo*, and ?n* but does not match rule *In, so the interface will be added only to the port groups using the matching rules (Back*, ?nLo*, and ?n*).
