How to make a port unsearchable?

Hi,

Can you please answer this question? thanks.

Hi Geeta,

As per switch shell standard, ports are searchable. Any shell inheriting the switch standard will have this property. So, I doubt this can be modified.

Hi Sadanand,

Thanks for replying. It is disappointing to know that the property cannot be modified.

Another way would be via Domain/Group view privileges.
Most installations simply assign everyone and everything into 'Global' by default. And then add additional domains afterwards for additional restrictions. A better way to start this is to create an alternative "Global Domain" named for the company - in the case "ACME". So by default all resources are added to the "ACME" domain instead of the Global, and Groups have access to the ACME domain. So in practice, the entire switch/router would be added to the domain, then you could selectively remove any specific ports. You could also add any specific ports to an "Admin" domain (the parent also inherits this) so they are easily search for with in that domain only (Switch your scope of work to that domain).
This is a real advantage to not having/using the default "Global" Domain.

However, they will not be useable for the routes in that domain.

So you could create routes in an admin template or blueprint and leave them or map specific connections, but they will not be accessed.
But it could be replaced in the blueprint with a visual connection.

Also note that requesting a route does not change a hard mapped connection in Resource Manager.
