OneView 8.x edit device window

[Rahman_Duran]

Hi,

What is the purpose of "edit device" window on OneVİew? There I can create vlan, add vlans to ports as tagged and untagged,set port alias, set snmp informations etc. When I create a vlan is it also saved to the switch? Or it is completely for informational purposes?

Regards,

Rahman

Hi Rahman,

More info on the edit device is available in the User Guide from the page 143
http://documentation.extremenetworks.com/netsight/8.0/9035088-01_EMC_8.0_EMC.pdf

I am not an A4 switch expert hence i will leave rest of the community to comment on the same.

In case if this is something that has become critical please raise a case with GTAC switching first to restore the switch later on continue with the investigation on what went wrong.

Hi Rahman,

The changes you do in the "Edit Device" window will configure the device.

Hi John,

So as I understand, Editing and Enforcing writes all information on the edit window to the switch instead of only writing the changes we did. And I see that configuration on edit window is not sync with the actual running config of the switch. So when I create a vlan and enforce it, it deletes all vlans on the switch and creates the vlan I enforce.

The problem I see is "Edit Device" window does not represent the actual switch config so enforcing breaks running config. I also could not find a way to make "Edit Device" windows sync with devices running config.

Regards.

Hi Rahman,

The Edit Device window does allow you to push your changes to the device itself. In order to save the change on the device (instead of just in Management Center), you need to click the Enforce Preview button after making a change, which opens the Compare Device Configuration window. This window displays your current configuration and the proposed new configuration you are going to push to your device. Clicking the Enforce button will save the configuration change to your device(s).

For additional information, see the Edit Device window help topic here: http://emc.extremenetworks.com/content/oneview/docs/network/devices/docs/ov_at_edit_device.html

and the Compare Device Configuration window help topic here: http://emc.extremenetworks.com/content/oneview/docs/network/devices/docs/ov_at_compare_device.html
