Configure Switch Ports

Perform the procedure in this section to configure names and operating characteristics
for the switch ports.
To configure one or more ports:
1. At the View window, click Configure at the left side of the window. The
Configure window opens with the Ports tab displayed.
a. For each port to be configured, type a port name of 24 alphanumeric
characters or less in the associated Name field. The port name should identify
the device to which the port is attached.
b. Choose the check box in the Blocked column to block or unblock a port
(default is unblocked). A check mark in the box indicates the port is blocked.
Blocking a port prevents the attached device from communicating with the
switch. A blocked port continuously transmits the offline sequence (OLS), as
shown in
Figure 2–3: Block or unblock a port from the Configure window
c. Choose the check box in the 10-100 km column to enable extended distance
buffering for a port (default is disabled). A check mark in the box indicates
extended distance operation up to 100 kilometers (through repeaters) is
enabled.
