A disabled port's state is reported as Link_Disabled on status disp l ays, and
the port can neither send nor receive packets.
Quiescing and Unquiescing Ports
Quiesce operations allow you to cause a single port or a sequential rang e of same-type
ports (e.g., all async PAD ports from port 0 to port 3) to become disabled when there
are no active connections on the port(s). Once disabled, the port(s) will remain dis-
abled until enabled using the Enable operation, after which time a Quiesce must be
perfor med ag ai n if tha t featur e is des i red.
Unquiesce operations allow returning of one or more quiesced ports to a normal con-
dition (without waiting for them to become disabled).
Select an operation from the menu (Figure 19-1), items E–H. When prompted:
●If quiescing or unquiescing a single port, enter:
◆RLP Port: 0–7 for ph ys ical p orts, 8–63 for logical ports. Valid numbers for
physical ports depend on the model of SmartSwitch 1800—see port loca-
tions on page 6-1 .
●If quiescing or unquiescing a range of ports, enter:
◆Port Ty pe: 1 (X.25), 2 (frame relay), 3 (asyn c), 4 ( SNA), 5 (BSCI),
6 (BSCB) , or 7 (Voice).

While an X.25 dialout port is quiesced, it cannot receive alarms or file
transfers, or be used by a remote Cabletron frame relay access device to
take control of the node. Also, quiescing a range of ports has no affect on
any port types within that r ange other than th e type specif ied.
