Port labels serve as useful reference points and as an accurate means
of identifying your ports for management. You may want to label your
Ethernet ports so that you can easily identify the device specifically
attached to each port (for example, LAN, workstation, or server).
To label an Ethernet port:
1 From the top level of the Administration Console, enter:
ethernet label
2 Enter the port(s) you want to label.
3 Enter the label of each Ethernet port.
Port labels can be a maximum of 32 characters in length. The new port
label appears the next time you display information for that port.
You can enable (place online) or disable (place off-line) Ethernet ports.
When an Ethernet port is enabled, frames are transmitted normally over
that port. When an Ethernet port is disabled, the port does not send or
receive frames.
To enable or disable an Ethernet port:
1 From the top level of the Administration Console, enter:
ethernet portState
2 Enter the number(s) of the port(s) you want to enable or disable.
3 Enter or
enable disable
The portState value (shown in the summary and detail displays) reflects
online for all enabled ports displayed and off-line for all disabled ports
displayed.
for each Ethernet port.
