Figure 43 Allow/Prohibit Matrix Configuration Library dialog box
This dialog box lets you open multiple saved configurations concurrently. Single or multiple
configurations can be opened, viewed, edited and saved.
NOTE: Create a saved version of the configuration and edit the saved version to minimize the risk
of losing current edits. After the edits have been completed and saved, then activate the
configuration.
Accessing Stored Configurations
When saved configurations are being edited, the matrix displays a depressed and shaded cell
when the matrix cell does not match the saved configuration.
The IPL file is a special saved configuration file. This configuration is used if the switch is in the IPL
process. If the Active=Saved option is checked, then the IPL file cannot be edited and saved. When
the IPL is opened, the file dynamically updates if the active configuration changes while the
Active=Saved option was enabled.
Configuring Port Addresses
To configure, save, and activate port addresses:
1. Select Configure > Allow/Prohibit to display Configure Allow/Prohibit Matrix - “Active”
dialog box.
2. Enter information into the appropriate fields.
3. Click the squares to either prohibit or allow connections. In the Figure 43 , port address 07 is
prohibited from communicating with port address 05. Also, Port OC is prohibited from
communicating with all other port addresses.
