IMC 7.3 P09 Unable to use Port Group with Interface Alias rule

[GeirTK]

Hi

I'm trying to dynamically gather all uplinks into a port group.

I use the Automatically Add New Interfaces "Based on Specified Rule" 

The "Interface Alias Rule" is "UPLINK*"

I don't get any interfaces into the group with this configuration.

What am i missing here ?

Hi ,

Please mention the switch model and configuration snippet you have applied.

Hi

We have a lot of different switch models. 2500 series, 2600 series 2800 series, 3500 series, 5300 series, 5400 series.

I suppose the Port Group automatic will add every port from every switch that match the "Interface alias rule" ?

Config:

Basic info:

Group Name: Uplinks

Access rights: Admininstrator group, Maintainer Group, Viewer Group

Automatically Add New Interfaces: "Bases on Specified Rule"

Interface Alias Rule: "*UPLINK*"

Hi,

Make sure you have the same alias rule configured on the device and strings are same.

Can you share what alias you have configured in the device ?

if everything correct then please log a support case.

Hi

Interface name info from a HP 2520-8-poe switch:

switch01# sh name

Port Type Name
----- --------- -----------------
1 10/100TX Port-1
2 10/100TX Port-2
3 10/100TX Port_3
4 10/100TX PORT_4
5 10/100TX
6 10/100TX
7 10/100TX
8 10/100TX
9 100/1000T
10 100/1000T UPLINK

The Port Group should dynamically have added the "Port 10 UPLINK"  from this switch as i understand this. But it don't. It looks like the "Interface alias rule" is using the wrong fields for some reason.

I tried to use ?? as the Interface alias rule which should added every port with 2 characters/numbers. But it don't.

Is there a log in IMC where i can see what interface alias rule the port group is evaluating ?

I have no  "alias rule configured on the device".  On the HP 2520  the alias function is a alias for a command. I can't see the connection between the device alias rule and the Port Group Interface alias rule.
