6. Adjust the following parameters as necessary.
Port Name
Use this selection to assign a name to a port. The name can be
from one to fifteen alphanumeric characters. Spaces are allowed,
but you should not use special characters, such as asterisks or
exclamation points. (You cannot assign a name when you are
configuring more than one port.)
Status
Use this selection to enable or disable a port. When disabled, a
port does not accept or forward frames.
You might want to disable a port and prevent packets from being
forwarded if a problem occurs with the node or cable connected
to the port. After the problem has been fixed, you can enable the
port again to resume normal operation.
You might also want to disable a port that is not being used to
secure it from unauthorized connections.
The possible settings are:
Enabled - The port receives and forwards packets. This is the
default setting.
