Viewing device interfaces with port groups
IMC offers you a variety of options for viewing network resources and for drilling down into the features
used to manage them. IMC provides you with the ability to manage port groups. To facilitate viewing
interface status, administrators can group several concerned interfaces or important interfaces (such as
the device interfaces that connect to a mail server, or core layer device interfaces) together as a port
group.
The Port Group also offers drilldown capabilities to the device and interface details page. The Device
Details page provides you with access to IMC network device management features. The Interface
Details page provides you with access to IMC interface management features.
Managing port groups
The Port Group feature provides you with the ability to query, add, modify, and delete port groups and
to grant and revoke management rights to operators. You can create one or more port groups based on
the administrators' jobs and port functions. In addition, port groups offer you the ability to drill down to
port groups' details.
Querying port group list
IMC enables you to filter port groups by a partial or complete port group name, by interface status, or
by interface alias and then displays only those port groups that match the search or filter criteria.
To filter the Port Group List:
1. Navigate to Resource > Port Group List:
a. Click the Resource tab from the tabular navigation system on the top.
b. Click View Management on the navigation tree on the left.
c. Click Port Group under View Management from the navigation system on the left. The Port
Group List displays in the main pane of the Port Group List page.
