2 Select the network that you want to remove, and click Delete Network.
3 Node Manager displays a confirmation dialog. Click OK.
4 Node Manager returns you to the Router OSPF Configuration window. Verify that the network no
longer appears in the table.
Managing E-Series Port Channels
You can use Node Manager to both add and remove port channels. A port channel is Force10’s method of
grouping multiple physical interfaces into a single logical interface. In IEEE 802.3ad, these are referred to
as a Link Aggregation Group (LAG).
Force10 port channels provide redundancy by enabling you to aggregate up to 16 physical interfaces of
the same interface type and speed interfaces into one logical interface. This enables the E-Series to have
one physical interface carry the traffic of another if the former goes down in a port channel. You can
configure up to 32 port channels per chassis.
You can perform the following port channel management activities in Node Manager:
• Viewing E-Series Port Channel Information on page 68
• Adding E-Series Port Channels on page 72
• Deleting E-Series Port Channels on page 73
• Configuring E-Series Port Channels on page 74

Field Name Usage
Process Permits you to create an OSPF instance (the equivalent of the
router-ospf process-id command). If the target switch already has
an instance of an OSPF process running, this field is preset with
that process ID.
IP Address Assign an IPv4 address.
Netmask Assign a subnet mask in CIDR format.
Area ID Assign a new area a unique integer ID. If the area is new, FTMS
creates the area.
