Using Connectivity Commands

Three connectivity commands deal with connecting the hub to the FDDI ring,
disconnecting the hub from the ring, and logging out of a console session.

connect and disconnect Commands

Once you have installed the hub and attached it to the ring and to other network
devices, you have established a connect condition. You do not have to enter the
connect command to effect the connection to the ring.
When you enter the disconnect (discon) command, you disable the ports on the
installed modules and disconnect the hub from the ring. The TOKEN LED on
the management module turns off to indicate the hub is no longer receiving
tokens on the ring.
CAUTION: To avoid the possible loss of data on devices connected to the hub,
invoke the disconnect command before removing or adding a module.
When the connect or disconnect function has been completed, this notification
appears:
Done.

logout Command

When you want to close a session from the console, enter the logout command.
This command also closes a Telnet session if access to the console was through
Telnet.
