Enabling/Disabling Ports
The enabling or disabling of a port is a manual operation that can be
used to isolate network devices possibly causing problems on the net-
work or to prevent unauthorized use of a port or station.
To enable or disable a port:
1 Click Ports.
You do not need to select any particular item on the front
panel image.
The Port Table appears, similar to Figure 3-15.

once on the port’s row.

The Modify Dialog box appears.
4 Open the Admin State drop-down menu and select

port).
