UNLOCKING PORTS
EMM-E6 User’s Guide 7-9
7.7 UNLOCKING PORTS
When you lock the chassis for security reasons (e.g., using remote inband
management), unauthorized devices cannot communicate through an
MMAC-FNB chassis station port. The Port LOCK Override function
provides fail-safe recovery if you cannot unlock ports using remote
inband SNMP.
To use the Port LOCK Override:
1. Use the arrow keys to highlight the Port LOCK Override field.
2. Press the Return key. The adjacent field displays “UNLOCK ALL
PORTS Y/N”.
3. Enter Y to unlock all of the ports, or N to discontinue the port lock
override. Responding with a Y unlocks all ports.
4. Press the Return key.
7.8 ENABLING PORTS
The Port ENABLE Override function provides a fail-safe recovery when
you cannot enable the chassis with remote inband SNMP.
To use the Port ENABLE Override:
1. Use the arrow keys to highlight the Port ENABLE Override field.
2. Press the Return key. The adjacent field displays “ENABLE ALL
PORTS Y/N”.
3. Enter Y to enable all of the ports, or N to discontinue the port enable
override. Responding with a Y enables all ports.
4. Press the Return key.
