Viewing and updating switch ports configuration¶
Users can view or modify switch ports configuration using command
walt device port-config
:
$ walt device port-config switch1 # show conf of all ports of switch1
[...]
$ walt device port-config switch1 4 # show conf of 4th port of switch1
Port 4 of switch1 has the following config:
4: name="4" poe=on peer=walt-server
$ walt device port-config switch1 4 name="SR32C14" # rename port 4 of switch1
Done.
$ walt device tree # name is updated in the network view
-- switch1 --
├─SR32C14: walt-server
[...]
When the WalT network is deployed on selected wall plugs of a large building, and these wall plugs have their name on a tag, one can give to switch ports the name of respective wall plugs, for easier platform maintenance.
WalT implements the following port settings:
