Monitoring and Managing Your ELS100-16TX

4.5.1 Disabling a Port

There can be times when you need to disable a specific Ethernet
port, for example, after you have determined that there is faulty
equipment. Disabling a port effectively stops all bridging functions
for that port. Disabled ports do not accept SNMP packets, and
therefore cannot communicate with an NMS.

To disable a port, or port range, at the LCM prompt:

1. Type

disable

For example,

disable 7-9

would disable ports 7, 8, and 9.

LCM responds:

Once an Ethernet port is disabled, it will be disabled until you
enable it again. Resetting the ELS100-16TX will not enable a port
that has been disabled.

4.5.2 Enabling a Port

When you enable an Ethernet port that has been disabled,
whatever bridging functions you had previously configured for
that port are re-enabled.

To enable a port, or a range of ports, at the LCM prompt:

1. Type

enable

Caution:

If you disable the port through which someone is remotely
managing the ELS100-16TX, that person will not be able to
communicate with the ELS100-16TX. Use the LCM command
