Chapter 4: Monitoring and Managing the FN100

4.4 USING LCM TO MANAGE THE FN100
You can use the Local Console Manager (LCM), any Cabletron Systems
NMS, or a standard SNMP-based NMS to manage the FN100. For more
information, see Section 4.1, FN100 Management Tools.
LCM commands that enable you to manage the FN100 include:
• Disable
• Enable
• Ipaddr
• Community
• Baud
• Reboot
4.4.1 Disabling a Port
There can be times when you may want to disable a specific Ethernet port,
for example, after you have determined that there is faulty equipment.
Disabling a port effectively stops all bridging functions for that port.
Disabled ports do not accept SNMP packets, and therefore cannot
communicate with an NMS.
Use the
disable <PORTS> command to disable a port, or port range. For
example, to disable ports 7, 8, and 9:
FN100 > disable 7-9
LCM responds:
Port 7: Disabled
Port 8: Disabled
Port 9: Disabled
Once an Ethernet port is disabled, it will remain disabled until you enable
it again. Resetting the FN100 will not enable a port that has been
disabled.
