Testing and Disabling the Current Interface

With the Test button you can test the current interface (e.g., by performing a loopback or some other transmission test).

With the Test and Disable buttons, you can test or disable the current interface. The operational states of these two options are:

Test	The interface will be in some test mode and no operational
	packets can be passed.
Disable	The interface will be in a closed state.

The Test and Enable/Disable buttons attempt to set the ifAdmin Status OID to the

TIP Enable, Disable, or Test values. Not all device firmware will allow you to perform a SET of this MIB OID for all interfaces, so attempts to test or enable/disable an interface may result in a SET FAILED message.

To disable the current interface:

1. Click on . The current interface will now be operating in a closed state.
