Connect Systems & Ports

Create links by clicking/dragging between endpoints.

CONNECTIVITY

Wire the topology

Mission Planner links are created between specific endpoints and ports. Start the connection from one object, choose the matching source and destination interfaces, then save the link.

Verify port selection before committing the connection, especially on systems and switches with multiple interfaces.

PROCEDURE

Procedure

STEP 01

Connect Switch To External Network

Start a link between the switch and the external network using the connect action or direct canvas gesture shown in Mission Planner.

FIGURE 01Connect Switch To External Network
STEP 02

Select Switch Network Ports

Choose the switch interface that should carry the link, then save the connection. Network objects such as Management (Cloud0) do not expose numbered destination ports the way switches and VMs do, so there is no destination-port selection on the network-object side of that link.

STEP 03

Connect VM To Switch

Create a link between the VM and the switch after both objects are present on the canvas.

STEP 04

Select VM Switch Ports

Select the VM interface and switch port that should be connected, then save the link and verify it appears on the canvas.

RESULT

The outcome you should see

The canvas shows the completed links and each endpoint is attached to the intended port.
