FireStorm ONE Installation Guide 22 BreakingPoint Systems Inc. ©2005-2016
2. Click the
Active Group
dropdown menu.
3. Select the Active Group to which you would like to assign the ports.
4. Click on the port(s) you would like to reserve.
Note:
A lock will appear over the reserved port. All other ports will be tagged with a small blue
icon, denoting the port’s Active Group. These ports, even though they have not been
manually reserved by you, will be reserved under your account.
Force Reserving a Blade
If another user has reserved the ports on a blade, you can force reserve all the ports on that blade by
clicking on any of the ports. During a force reserve, the system will alert you that the ports are
reserved by another user and ask if you want to force reserve all the ports on that blade. If you force
reserve the port at this point, the system will reserve all the ports on that blade under your account.
Note:
You cannot force reserve ports if there is a test or system process running on any of the ports
on the blade. This system will alert you that there is a process running on that module.
You should check the port notes before you force reserve the port(s) because other system users
may not want you to remove their port reservations. If available, the port notes will appear as a
yellow note icon located below the port.
As a best practice recommendation, you should add a port note to your reserved ports. For example,
you may want to note that you will be running tests on these ports everyday between 2 and 4 p.m.
This may prevent other users from removing your port reservations.
To force-reserve ports
1. Select Control
Center > Device Status
from the BreakingPoint Control Center Menu bar.
2. Click on the port(s) you would like to reserve.
Note:
You can only force reserve ports that do not have tests or system processes running on
them.
3. Click
Yes
when the dialog window displays, asking if you would like to force reserve all the
ports in the module.
Note:
The port(s) that you clicked on will show a locked icon, denoting that this port has been
reserved by you. All other ports will be tagged with a blue note icon, showing the active
group to which the ports belong.
Simultaneously Reserving or Unreserving All Ports On A Blade
When you right-click on a port, you can conveniently reserve or unreserve all ports on that slot
without having to individually select them.
To simultaneously reserve or unreserve all ports on a blade:
1. Select Control Center > Device Status from the BreakingPoint Control Center Menu bar.
2. Click the Active Group that you would like to use from the dropdown menu.
3. Right-click on the slot that has the ports you would like to reserve or unreserve.
