reenable an interface that you have disabled.

button appears in that location. Click that button to disable the interface.
How Do I View Activity on My WAN Interface?
You can view activity on a WAN interface by using the Monitor feature in Cisco
SDM. Monitor screens can display statistics about the WAN interface, including
the number of packets and bytes that have been sent or received by the interface,
and the number of send or receive errors that have occurred. To display statistics
about a WAN interface:
Step1 From the toolbar, click Monitor.
Step2 From the left frame, click Interface Status.
Step3 In the Select an Interface field, choose the WAN interface for which you want to
view statistics.
Step4 Choose the data item(s) you want to view by checking the associated check
box(es). You can view up to four statistics at a time.
Step5 Click Show Details to see statistics for all selected data items.
