Setting the Edge Switch online and offline

When the Edge Switch is set online, an attached device can log in to the Edge Switch if the port is

not blocked. Attached devices can communicate with each other if they are configured in the same

zone.

When the Edge Switch is set offline, all ports are set offline. The Edge Switch transmits the offline

sequence (OLS) to attached devices, and the devices cannot log in to the Edge Switch.
