Default Role
See Default Role in the Concepts topic for information on default roles. Click the Select button to
change the default role. For additional information, see Port Mode.
Current Role

each end user login (authentication) session on the port.
Select Button
Click Select to select a new default role for the port. This opens the Selection View (Roles) where
you can select an existing role or click New to launch the Role Wizard and create a new role. Select
the Clear the current default role option to set the default role back to <None>.
Mappings Tab
This tab allows you to create port−level MAC to Role mappings and Tagged Packet VLAN to Role mappings.
A mapping does not have to exist at the device level to be created at the port level, and port−level mappings
will override any device−level mappings. Any additions or changes you make to this tab must be enforced in
order to take effect.
NOTES:
−− You must have the Port Level Role Mappings feature enabled in Policy Manager for the mappings to take effect. (From the menu bar, select the Edit > Port Level Role
Mappings checkbox.) If the feature is not enabled, the mappings will be ignored and any mappings listed here will be grayed out.
−− Port−level mappings cannot be added or removed to or from frozen ports . You
