Monitoring and Managing the ATX
4.4.1 Disabling a Port
There may be times when you need to disable a specific port.
Disabling a port effectively stops all of the bridging and IP routing
functions for that port. Ports that have been disabled won’t be able
to accept SNMP packets, and therefore can’t communicate with an
NMS.
To disable a port or port range:
Type: disable <port range>
For example, disable 7-9 would disable ports 7, 8, and 9. LCM
responds:
Port 7: Bridging/Routing functions DISABLED!
Port 8: Bridging/Routing functions DISABLED!
Port 9: Bridging/Routing functions DISABLED!
Note: Once a port is disabled, it will be disabled until you enable it again.
Resetting the ATX won’t enable a port that has been disabled.
Caution: If you disable the port through which you are connected to the
ATX, you will not be able to communicate with the ATX. To
find the port number through which you are connected, use the
addresses display command with the MAC address of
you device.
4.4.2 Enabling a Port
When you enable a port that has been disabled, whatever bridging
and routing functions you had configured for that port would then
be enabled. You may want to enable a port even if no bridging or
routing functions are configured to allow the port to communicate
with an NMS.
To enable a port or port range:
Type: enable <port range>
For example, enable 7-9 would enable ports 7, 8, and 9. LCM
