PCMplus 3.0 port lists are messy

[J Vesterdahl]

Hi all.

When I browse the port lists of my switches in PCM, the port order is always messed up (when changing from pane to pane or opening the window to modify port assignments).
Is there a way to tell PCM that I always want to see the port list in numerical order, starting with port 1 at the top of the list?

Hi,

It seems that you have found a bug that exists even in PCM 3.1 (a free upgrade from PCM 3.0 by the way). I have filed a defect report against PCM to fix this issue.

I am only seeing the issue on the Port List tab's Port Assignment subtab; the other subtabs, Port Status and Port Access seem to order correctly. And as you mention the issue also exists on the Port Assignment Table dialog window that can be launched from the Port Assignment subtab. Do you see it elsewhere or only where I have mentioned?

In the meantime it seems that the only option is to click the Index column heading twice in troublesome screens; this will reorder the ports correctly by ifIndex number while you're in that screen. Unfortunately the ordering won't be retained between visits to the screen for the same or even different devices.

Regards,

SVB

Hi Steve.

Your observations with the tabs are correct. I see the same behavior.
