5.1.9 Link Sets

A Link Set is a logical element representing link attributes assigned to a Link (/vstp/links) and a far-end point assigned to a Route.

Select the VSTP, and then Configuration, and then Link Sets page. The page displays the elements on the Link Sets View, Insert, and Edit pages.

Note:

Data Input Notes apply to the Insert and Edit pages only; the View page is read-only.
