52 Section I: Using the Menus Interface
Enabling and Disabling a Port
This procedure enables and disables a port. A disabled port does not
forward any ingress or egress packets. You might disable a port if a
problem occurs with the node or cable connected to the port. After the
problem is fixed, you can enable the port to resume normal operation. You
can also disable an unused port to secure it from unauthorized
connections. The default setting for a port is enabled.
To change the port’s status, perform the following procedure:
1. From the Main Menu, type B to select Basic Configuration.
The Basic Switch Configuration Menu is shown in Figure 4 on page 30
2. From the Basic Switch Configuration Menu, type P to select Port
Configuration.
The Port Configuration Menu is shown in Figure 13 on page 50.
3. Type S to select Set Status.
The following prompt is displayed:
Set Status->Enter port number>
4. Enter the number of the port to enable or disable. You can configure
only one port at a time.

disabled port immediately stops forwarding all ingress and egress
traffic until you enable it again.
