Configuration Steps

  • Define port group configurations
  • Set prefix, range, and media types
  • Required before adding devices
  • Add devices using device models
  • Set tier, OOB type, and pair IDs
  • Port groups inherited from models
  • Generate Excel template
  • Download connection mapping file
  • Optional: Save forms.json

Device Ports Configuration

Create device models, add devices, then generate an Excel template for connection mapping.

Step 1: Device Models

Define port group configurations for device models. Required before adding devices.

📋

Create a device model to begin

Device models define port groups (prefix, range, media type) for device types. Once created, you can quickly add devices using these device models.

Step 2: Devices

Add devices using device models. Port groups are inherited from device models and cannot be edited per device.

🔒

Create device models first

You must create at least one device model before adding devices.

Save & Restore (forms.json)

Save your configuration (device models + devices + tiers + logical pairs) or restore from a previous session.

Why use forms.json? Save your work in progress or restore a previous configuration. The file contains all device models, devices, tiers, and logical pair assignments. Download it when generating Excel, or upload it here to restore.

Accepted format: .json

Upload a forms.json file with device models or devices to enable restore
