Disabling A Port; Enabling A Port - Cabletron Systems SmartSTACK 100 User Manual

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 <PORT-RANGE>
For example,
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.
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
addresses display to find the port number you are using
to manage the ELS100-16TX.

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 <PORT-RANGE>
