Port labels serve as a useful reference point and as an accurate means
of identifying your ports for management. You may want to label your
Token Ring ports so that you can easily identify the device specifically
attached to each port (for example, LAN, workstation, or server).
To label a Token Ring port:
1 From the top level of the Administration Console, enter:
tokenring label
2 Select the slot(s) related to the port(s) you want to label.
3 Enter the port(s) you want to label.
4 Enter the label of each Token Ring port.
The new port label appears next time you display information for that port.
You can enable (place on-line) or disable (place off-line) Token Ring ports.
When a Token Ring port is enabled, frames are transmitted normally over
that port. When a Token Ring port is disabled, the port does not send or
receive frames.
To enable or disable a Token Ring port:
1 From the top level of the Administration Console, enter:
tokenring portState
2 Enter the module(s) for which you want to set port states.
3 Enter the number(s) of the port(s) you want to set.
4 Enter or
enable
The portState value (shown in the summary and detail displays) reflects
on-line for all enabled ports displayed and off-line for all disabled ports
displayed.
