Port connection array—This yellow area of the dialog box is a matrix of
port addresses that is used to configure connections between port addresses.
All port addresses for the switch are listed along the top and left side of the
matrix. The intersection between a vertical and horizontal row of cells
(squares) is where you can either allow or prohibit connections between two
addresses when you click the cell to prohibit connection or right-click the cell
and display a menu of attributes.

allowed connection. The symbol for a prohibited connection is shown in
Figure 38. Click a cell to add the prohibited symbol and prohibit connection
to that cell. To remove the prohibit symbol, click the cell again.
Move your cursor over the squares in the array to display the corresponding
address. Right-click the array to display the following menu options:
— Prohibit row—Prohibits connection between all addresses in a row. In
effect, this prohibits connection between a specific address and all other
port addresses.
— Allow row—Allows connection for all port addresses on a row that are
currently prohibited. This allows connection between a port with a
specific address and other allowed ports.
— Prohibit all—Prohibits connection between all port addresses. In this
state, ports in the switch cannot connect with any other port address.
— Allow all—This allows a dynamic connection through all port addresses
from which connection is currently prohibited. The allowed attribute has
the lowest precedence and does not override any other attribute.
— Block all ports—Blocks communication between all ports. Ports that are
blocked continuously transmit offline sequences (OLS).
