7.7UNLOCKING PORTS

When you lock the chassis for security reasons (e.g., using remote inband management), unauthorized devices cannot communicate through an MMAC-FNB chassis station port. The Port LOCK Override function provides fail-safe recovery if you cannot unlock ports using remote inband SNMP.

To use the Port LOCK Override:

1.Use the arrow keys to highlight the Port LOCK Override field.

2.Press the Return key. The adjacent field displays “UNLOCK ALL PORTS Y/N”.

3.Enter Y to unlock all of the ports, or N to discontinue the port lock override. Responding with a Y unlocks all ports.

4.Press the Return key.

The Port ENABLE Override function provides a fail-safe recovery when you cannot enable the chassis with remote inband SNMP.

To use the Port ENABLE Override:

1.Use the arrow keys to highlight the Port ENABLE Override field.

2.Press the Return key. The adjacent field displays “ENABLE ALL PORTS Y/N”.

3.Enter Y to enable all of the ports, or N to discontinue the port enable override. Responding with a Y enables all ports.

4.Press the Return key.
