Overview

This article explains the steps for how to add a port to a device through the Device Management screen in Cumulus.

A hard limit cannot be set on the number of ports on a device, and users cannot create a port unallocated to an address.


How to Add a Port to a Device

To add a port to a device through Device Management, log in to Cumulus and go to Services > Infrastructure > Management.

Choose a device from the list and then click Configure.

Create a name for the port and then assign a port type and profile. 

Use the existing address against the port if already assigned, or search for a new address. Once you have found a desired address, click add port.


This process will not start billing and it will not assign the port to an actual service associated with it. It simply assigns the port to an address. Later on when you place orders you can assign a the port to the actual service.
