Enabling/Disabling Ports

The enabling or disabling of a port is a manual operation that can be used to isolate devices possibly causing problems on the network or to prevent unauthorized use of a port or station.

To enable or disable a port:

1 Click Ports.

You do not need to select any particular port on the front-panel image.

The Port Table appears, similar to Figure 4-8.

Port Table

The Port Table displays the current status of each port on the device. The table contains a scroll bar that is inde- pendent of the browser, which allows you to view infor- mation on all ports on the device.

ΔNote: For a description of each field, see “Ports” on page 5-6.

2 Select the port to be enabled or disabled by clicking once on the port’s row.

ΔNote: The ports are identified by their group and port number. For example, the AsantéHub 1016- IQ’s 16 10Base-T ports are on group 2.
