Bring Interface Up

You can enable an interface (admin up) from the Topology view of the HPE Networking Apstra Data Center Director GUI or (as of version 5.1.0) from the interface detail view.

To enable an interface, your user profile must be assigned at least one of the following Granular Permissions type roles: Manage racks and links or Manage generic systems (as of version 5.1.0). For more information, see User/Role Management.
