The Logical Link Control (LLC) service allows LLC frames to be sent and received on the MAC. LLC frames are all data frames transmitted on the network. If there is something wrong on your network, you may want to turn off data (user) traffic for a MAC by disabling LLC service. Although you have disabled data traffic from the MAC, the MAC still participates in neighbor notification and is visible to network management.

To enable or disable LLC service for the MACs in the Switch 2200:

1From the top level of the Administration Console, enter:

fddi mac llcService

You are prompted for a MAC number and to enable or disable LLC service. The Switch 2200 has one MAC, which appears in brackets.

2Press Return.

3Enter the new MAC value (enabled or disabled).

See the following example:

Select MAC [1]:

MAC 1 - Enter new value (disabled,enabled) [enabled]:

disabled
