The documentation set for this product strives to use bias-free language. For the purposes of this documentation set, bias-free is defined as language that does not imply discrimination based on age, disability, gender, racial identity, ethnic identity, sexual orientation, socioeconomic status, and intersectionality. Exceptions may be present in the documentation due to language that is hardcoded in the user interfaces of the product software, language used based on RFP documentation, or language that is used by a referenced third-party product.

The Slice Manager provides a way for you, as a network administrator, to partition networks into many logical networks. Each logical network can be assigned to departments, groups of individuals, or applications. The Slice Manager creates slices based on the following criteria:
Note |
You can also use VLAN IDs to segregate the slice traffic. |
Slices must be created by a Cisco XNC user with the Network Administrator role. After creation, the slices can be managed by a user with the Slice Administrator role.
Slices can overlap provided each slice has at least one unique attribute. For example, a slice can share the same physical switches and ports, but be differentiated by the type of traffic it receives.
You must have created a slice before you can add nodes and ports.
Step 1 | On the Admin drop-down list, choose Slices. |
Step 2 |
On the Slices tab, choose the slice for which you want to add entries. Enter a value in the Search combo box and click the search icon to limit the number of entries that appear. |
Step 3 | In the topology diagram, click a node that you want to add to the slice. |
Step 4 | In the Add Slice Entry dialog box, choose the port or ports that you want to add to the slice. |
Step 5 | Click Add Entry. |
Step 6 | Repeat Step 3 through Step 5 for each node and port that you want to add to the slice. |
