SmartPort network scope not available for creation as org admin.

In the past I was able to create a Network level scoped SmartPort profile. Now after some change, depending on if you are an org admin or network admin, you will see different menu contexts.

 

The intent behind the SmartPorts is to give admins the ability to select a SmartPort profile for a switch port.

 

As an org admin, I routinely make changes across various networks. When I create a SmartPort profile, it's scoped to the organization. 

 

The plan for us is to create SmartPort profiles for all of our 40+ network sites. The issue is now that it's scoped to the organization level, when assigning a SmartPort profile as an org admin, there is not a simple list to select anymore, and you must now type part of the port profile name to narrow it down. This takes a little longer and is less efficient than seeing a drop down with all the applicable network scoped port profiles.

Good Day,

 

Do you use templated networks and you want to create Port Profiles for them?

I see a difference in behaviour in templated and non templated networks. For me it's working wen selecting non templated networks.

We dont use any templated networks. I assume you are an org admin? Can you share with me a screenshot of how you get to your smartport profile configuration and set it at a network level instead of org level? maybe im missing something in our menu.

You can find the Network Wide Smart Profiles under Switches --> Port Profiles. Especially when none where created before. Afterwards you can change them Globally also.  The Global Smartports you can access via Organization --> Smartports
