Configuring port addresses
To configure, save, and activate port addresses:
1. Select Configure > Addresses > Active.
The Configure Addresses - “Active” dialog box is displayed, as shown in Figure 40 on page 116.
2. Click a square to either prohibit or allow connections.
CAUTION: Use extreme care when configuring PDCMs for E_Ports, as mistakes can render paths
unusable and cause complex routing problems. These problems can be difficult to detect and
sometimes manifest as end-device issues.
