Port Configuration Menu
If you enter a port number, for example, 1 , from the Port status menu,
the Port Configuration Menu for Port 1 of a 10Base-T hub appears:
This display shows the current status and configuration of the selected
port. At the top of the screen you see the hub name, the selected module
and its name, and the selected port and its name, if you have previously
assigned one. Next are the port’s status and configuration modes. At the
bottom you see a list of menu options. Each currently configured choice is
highlighted with an arrow (>).
Port Enable and
Port Disable
Partitioning is the software’s ability to disable a port if the port has
detected an error in the network. This is to prevent the port from
repeating the error.
Enable port with automatic partitioning. Entering E for this option
means the hub software automatically changes the port’s state to
Partitioned once it detects an error. In this case, the user cannot change
the ports’ state back to normal. When the user fixes the error condition,
the port status changes back to
Normal based on a reconnection
algorithm.
Disable port. Entering D for this option means you are manually turning
the port off to prevent it from repeating traffic. You may want to manually
partition a port for security reasons; for example, an office connected to
that port is vacant and you want to prevent unauthorized connections. You
can manually enable this port again by entering E at the prompt.
