Connectrix: Brocade: B-series: SANnav: How to edit Multiple MAPS Rules in Bulk for a Customized Blockset starting from SANNAv v2.3.0

Use Case 1:
Change the rule names for certain rules from the default name (such as: defALL_100G_QSFPCURRENT_10) to a customized name (such as CompanyName_100G_QSFPCURRENT_10)

Use Case 2:
Change the Action list for multiple rules in one shot (Such as: All MAPS rules must have the following action specified: RAS Log, SNMP Trap, Email)

To address these two use cases, two new features are introduced in SANnav v2.3:

• MAPS Block global search: Search for a specific string in all MAPS rules
• Bulk edit of MAPS rules: Edit rule names in bulk.

For these two new features, the User Interface for managing MAPS blocks had to be redesigned. Therefore in SANnav v2.3.0, the UI to manage MAPS rules has been redesigned and enhanced for better usability to search and replace both rule names and action lists.

To edit either rule names or actions in a bulk for a customized blockset, perform the following steps:

1. Click SANnav in the navigation bar, and then select SAN Monitoring > Configuration Policies Management > Blocks
