NOTE
• Long distance is not displayed from the Edit window.
• The Auto Max speed levels are displayed only when you set the port speed as Auto Negotiate and
these options allow you to set the speed limit the port can auto-negotiate.
Creating port groups
You can group a number of N_Ports (and its mapped F_Ports) together to connect to multiple
independent fabrics or to create performance optimized ports. To group a number of ports, you must
create a new port group and assign desired N_Ports to it. The N_Port grouping option is enabled by
default, and all N_Ports are members of a default port group 0 (pg0). Access Gateway prevents failover
of F_Ports across N_Port groups.
NOTE
If you want to distribute F_Ports among groups, you can leave all ports in the default port group 0, or
you can disable N_Port grouping.
To create port groups, perform the following steps.
1. Click a port in the Switch View to open the Port Admin tab.
2. Select Advanced from Configure > Port Configuration Policy.
3. Select a port or ports to configure.
4. Select Configure N-Port Groups from the Actions list.
