Layer 1 Configuration – Physical Ports
There are features and functions used in Arista NetVisor UNUM and Insight Analytics that are common throughout the user interface (UI). Please refer to the Common Functions section for more information on the use of these functions and features.
Manage Ports
Selecting Manager → Layer 1 → Manage Ports displays the Manage Ports dashboard.
Select the applicable Fabric from the left-hand navigation bar and the dashboard updates showing all Manage Ports configurations from all switches within the Fabric.
Note: If no entries exist a "No Data Exists" message is displayed. You must first configure an entry on a switch. Prerequisite settings and configuration may be required.
This feature table displays data based on the fabric's default Collector Switch. If no data displays in the dashboard, either select a switch from the Left-hand Navigation (LHN) pane or perform a Search by selecting an FRG (Fabric Resource Group) and a specific Attribute from the drop-down lists, as required.

Configure Flex Ports
Flexing the bezel-port on a switch is supported by the Manage Ports dashboard.
On flexing QSFP ports (100G — 4X25G) and (40G — 4X10), port-related configuration parameters such as eth-mode, autoneg, jumbo and fec are supported. Speed change (25G <--> 10G) on flexed ports is supported.
Select the range of bezel-ports from the dashboard.
Caution: Flex ports must be correctly configured when using the multi-select or the multi-edit feature on a given range of ports; otherwise, the desired port modifications using Edit and Advanced Edit may not work as expected. For example, in the following image, Port 49 has been flexed into four separate 25G ports, Port 13, 13.2, 13.3, and 13.4, from the original 100G setting on Port 49. In this case, the edit function will work on the four selected ports, 49 - 52.

Enable All Ports
To enable all ports on a switch use the to select a row and then click Select All. Select Edit and change the Config State.
Caution: The Select All method only works if all ports are flexed. If a combination of flexed and non-flexed ports are present, use the Multi-Select feature to refine the selection.
Note: While reviewing the dashboard you may see the Port State marked as "down". This may be a result of a setting within Manage Ports and the lack of a physical cable connection to the selected port. Please ensure enable – physical port enable is set to "enable" in the Manage Ports dashboard using the Edit function by selecting the Cog icon. You must connect a physical cable to the port. Otherwise, the port is marked as "down".
