Override Port Configuration at the Switch Level

As an admin user, you can override a specific set of switch port configuration parameters at the switch level, giving you greater control over individual port settings. These overrides are appended to the existing port configuration and can be applied to one or more switch ports.

Note:

Port overrides are not permitted for ports that use dynamic port configuration.

To apply the override parameters at the switch level:

  1. Click Switches and then select the switch to open the switch details page.
  2. Navigate to Port tile.
  3. On the Port tile, expand the Port Overrides section.
    The Port Overrides section is visible only if at least one port profile configuration exists.
  4. Click Override Port Configuration.

  5. Specify the port IDs for which you want to configure the override parameters.
  6. Select the parameters that you wish to override by checking the corresponding boxes.
  7. Configure the selected parameters and then click the check mark (✓) on the right of the Add Port Overrides window.
