Configuring network ports

[EcoStruxureIT]

Configure network port properties in Genomes

You can configure network port properties for network equipment in Genomes.

1. Go to Tools > Open Genome Library to open the Genomes pane.
2. Select a piece of network equipment.
3. Click the Network pane in the Properties section and perform the edits for the component in Genomes.
   1. Click Add or Edit.
   2. Select the type, port range (first port and the amount of ports in the range), and the network speed if relevant.

   3. Repeat the above two steps for all port ranges needed. For example, a switch could be configured like this:

      Type	Start (First port in range)	Count (Amount of ports)
      RJ45	1	16
      RJ45	17	16
      RJ45	33	16
      Fiber Uplink	1	4

The configured properties will apply to all pieces of this equipment added to the layout subsequently.

To change the properties for one specific component only rather than the product type in Genomes, right click the component in the layout. The same options are available but they will only apply to the one component.
