Working with Ports
One or more satellites are connected to the host Cisco ASR 9000 series network element by using the
physical ethernet links, which also act as inter-chassis links (ICLs) for connecting the satellites with the
other chassis or satellites within the host.
To view the satellite ICLs, choose the Satellite ICL container in the logical inventory of the device. The
content pane displays a list of satellite ICLs with the following details.
Working with Ports
The following topics describe some of the options available for working with ports:
• Viewing Port Status and Properties, page 3-23
• Viewing a Port Configuration, page 3-25
• Disabling and Enabling Alarms, page 3-26
• Generating a Port Utilization Graph, page 3-27
You can also perform port configuration tasks such as managing port descriptions, changing port status,
assigning ports to VLANs, and so forth using basic commands that are launched from right-click
contextual menus. The commands are described in Setting Up Devices and Validating Device
Information, page 1-4.
Viewing Port Status and Properties
Prime Network Vision displays all ports on a device in the Ports tab in the inventory window.
This information is available to users with an Operator or higher role on the selected device. Users with
a Configurator or higher role can modify the status of a single port or a selected group of ports as
described in the following sections:
• Disabling and Enabling Alarms, page 3-26
• Generating a Port Utilization Graph, page 3-27
You can export the port list from Prime Network Vision by using the Export to CSV option in the toolbar.
