Quiescing and Unquiescing Ports
On-line Operations
A disabled port's state is reported as
the port can neither send nor receive packets.
operations allow you to cause a single port or a sequential range of same-type
Quiesce
ports (e.g., all async PAD ports from RLP 1, port 0 to RLP 4, port 3) to become dis-
abled when there are no active connections on the port(s). Once disabled, the port(s)
will remain disabled until enabled using the
must be performed again if that feature is desired.
Quiesce
operations allow returning of one or more quiesced ports to a normal con-
Unquiesce
dition (without waiting for them to become disabled).

While an X.25 dialout port is quiesced, it cannot receive alarms or file
transfers, or be used by another FRX4000/6000 to take remote control of
the node. Also, quiescing a range of ports has no affect on any port types
within that range other than the type specified.
