Adding Interfaces to a Node¶
CML automatically allocates interfaces to a node to accommodate new links. It is not necessary to manually add interfaces unless you want to overprovision interfaces for the node. See also Rules for Creating Links and Interface Overprovisioning.
Procedure
Select a node in the Workbench.
Click the Interfaces tab in the lower pane of the Workbench.
The Interfaces pane for a node in the Workbench.¶
Click the Add # Interfaces button to add additional interfaces.
The button label shows how many interfaces will be added. By default, interfaces are added in groups of four, and the button shows Add 4 Interfaces. Each node definition has a maximum number of interfaces, and if the node can support fewer than four additional interfaces, the button label will change to indicate how many more interfaces can be added. If the node already has the maximum number of interfaces supported by its node type, then the button will be disabled and indicate Max Interfaces Reached.
