Creating Port Groups
The KX II supports the aggregation of multiple ports into a single port
group.Port groups consist solely of ports configured as standard KVM
ports.
A port may only be a member of a single group.
Ports that are available to be included in a port group are displayed in
the Select Port for Group > Available list.
Once a port is added to a port group, it is not available to add to another
port group. Remove the port from its existing port group to use it in a new
one.
A maximum of 8 port groups can be created. The Add button is disabled
once this limit is reached.
Connect and disconnect actions performed from the primary port are
applied to the secondary ports in the group with the exception of power
control.
Port Groups are restored using the Backup and Restore option (see
Backup and Restore (on page 242)).
Note: See HP and Cisco UCS Blade Chassis Configuration (Port
Group Management) (on page 196) for information on creating port
groups for blade chassis, and Creating Dual Port Video Groups for
information on creating dual video port groups.
