Enable/Disable/Shutdown Ports Command

This command allows you to enable, disable, and shutdown each port
on the 12-Port 100BASE-TX Workgroup FastModule.
When a port is set to:
Enable – It transmits to and receives data from the network to
which the port is assigned.
Disable – It does not transmit or receive data. (Link integrity is
unaffected).
Shutdown – It is disabled, turns off link integrity, and does not
transmit or receive data. The port responds with status OFF at the
terminal.
Use the following command to enable, disable, or shutdown a port:
SET PORT { slot.port } MODE {disable}
{ slot .all}

Setting Port Redundancy Command

This command allows you to set redundancy between ports. When
you set two ports redundant to each other, the secondary port takes
over if the primary port fails.
To support 100BASE-TX Fast Ethernet features, you may use either
another 100 MB port or another 10BASE-T port as the backup.
Use the following command to set redundancy between ports:
SET PORT { slot.port } MODE {redundant}
{ slot.port }
For an example of port redundancy, refer to the section Setting
Redundant Links in Chapter 2.

Setting Remote Diagnostics Command

This command allows the 12-Port 100BASE-TX Workgroup FastModule
to detect certain unusual failure conditions. This mode completes the
fault-tolerance of a redundant link.
