Creating Port Filters

Use Port Filters to easily find ports on nodes. The MANAGE > MANAGED DEVICES > Ports page makes it easier to find a particular port.

Ports are dynamically updated when more nodes with managed devices are added. Ports can be filtered by multiple parameters using either the AND and OR boolean operators.

To create a Port Filter:

  1. Select the MANAGE > MANAGED DEVICES > Ports page.

  2. On ADVANCED FILTER pane and select Port Filter.
