User-defined groups
NOTE
You can only create user-defined custom groups for ports, SFPs, and FCIP circuits.
You can create a group of ports, SFPs, or circuits to which you can assign thresholds. This enables
you to configure different monitoring conditions for each group. For more information, refer to
“Configuring a group” on page 1366.
Configuring a group
Often on a device there are sets of ports that behave in a similar manner and have a different
behavior from other sets of ports. For example, the behavior of ports connected to UNIX hosts and
servers is different from the behavior of ports connected to Windows hosts and servers.
MAPS allows you to group ports, SFP transceivers, or FCIP circuits together across network devices
You can create groups of ports that behave in a similar manner and monitor these ports using the
same rules and thresholds.
NOTE
You can create up to 64 groups for each logical switch.
