Prime Infrastructure port grouping

[joerg]

Hi,

I have question regarding the port groups.

Is it possible to create a port group based on port type where the port type is a dot1q trunk?

In the drop down menu, I can only find Cisco ISL.  

My goal is to apply the interface/port  monitoring only on trunk interfaces/ports.

Regards

You can select the interfaces of your interest for port groups manually. Check the user guide here:

P.S : In CSC it is always good to share the device and Cisco PI platform and version details. Many times you'll find features are supported in one release and not in others.

-Thanks

Hi Vinod,

Thanks for your answer.

It is PI 1.4

But is there no possibilty to filter for trunk/dot1q ports?

Because selecting them manually could be a lot of work in a large deployment.

Hi Vinod

In LMS 4.2 only trunk ports were monitored by default as it was safely assumed that this is what most people would want to do as a minimum.

It seems absurd that this new monitoring functionality in PI 2.2 cannot achieve this simple task without manually adding each interface in. I can tell you that this is not at all practical with our network of 700+ devices. Surely there is a way to identify a dot1q trunk?

Cheers
