Enabling or Disabling a Port
Enabling or disabling a port is a manual operation. You can enable or disable
a port to isolate network devices that may be causing problems on the
network or to prevent unauthorized use of a port or station.

To enable or disable a port, use the following procedure.

1

Access the Port Configuration Menu by typing p in the
Configuration Menu.

2

Choose a module in the System Module Map.

3

In the Basic Port Configuration Menu, use s, n, or p to
select the port you want to enable or disable.

4

Type t to toggle the port’s connection to either enabled or
disabled status, as desired.

The port’s status is changed immediately, and it is reflected in the Port
Configuration Menu’s Port Status indication and the Operating Status
symbol for the port.
