4-26 CHAPTER 4: MANAGING YOUR HUB USING QUICK CONFIG MANAGER

You can configure a port so that it sends a trap to a network management application when the status of the link changes (for example, if a device is connected to or disconnected from the port), or when the port partitions. You can also configure a port to store the source address of frames received by the port, this enables you to detect which devices are attached to each port of the hub.

To configure a port:

1From the View menu, select Zoom In to display the representation of the hub.

2Double-click on the port you want to configure.

3In the Port Configuration dialog box, choose the Info category.

Quick Config Manager displays the Repeater Port Info panel, as shown in Figure 4-11.

4In the Repeater Port Info panel, select either Enable

or Disable for Port State.

Figure 4-11 Repeater Port Info Panel

If the port is part of a resilient link, you cannot enable or disable the port. You must first delete the resilient link, see “Resilience” on page 4-33.
