A disabled port's state is reported as
Link_Disabled
on status displays, and
the port can neither send nor receive packets.
Quiescing and Unquiescing Ports
Quiesce
operations allow you to cause a single port or a sequential range of same-type
ports (e.g., all async PAD ports from port 0 to port 3) to become disabled when there
are no active connections on the port(s). Once disabled, the port(s) will remain dis-
abled until enabled using the
Enable
operation, after which time a
Quiesce
must be
performed again if that feature is desired.
Unquiesce
operations allow returning of one or more quiesced ports to a normal con-
dition (without waiting for them to become disabled).
Select an operation from the menu (Figure 19-1), items E–H. When prompted:

While an X.25 dialout port is quiesced, it cannot receive alarms or file
transfers, or be used by a remote Cabletron frame relay access device to
take control of the node. Also, quiescing a range of ports has no affect on
any port types within that range other than the type specified.
