Move your mouse pointer over the squares in the array to display the
corresponding address. Right-click on the array to display the following menu
options:
— Prohibit row—Prohibits connection between all addresses in a row. In
effect, this prohibits connection between a specific address and all other
port addresses.
— Allow row—Allows connection for all port addresses on a row that are
currently prohibited. This allows connection between a port with a
specific address and other allowed ports.
— Prohibit all—Prohibits connection between all port addresses. In this
state, ports in the switch cannot connect with any other port address.
— Allow all—This allows a dynamic connection through all port addresses
from which connection is currently prohibited. The allowed attribute has
the lowest precedence and does not override any other attribute.
— Block all ports—Blocks communication between all ports. Ports that are
blocked continuously transmit offline sequences (OLSs).
— Unblock all ports—Unblocks all port addresses that are currently
blocked. This allows communication from all port addresses in the switch.
— Clear all—Clears the prohibit and blocked status of all port addresses in
the switch.
