–Shutdown — Discards the packets and shuts down the port. The port remains shut down until reactivated, or until the device is reset.

•Traps — Indicates if traps are enabled for Multiple Hosts. The possible field values are:

–True — Indicates that traps are enabled for Multiple hosts.

–False— Indicates that traps are disabled for Multiple hosts.

•Trap Frequency — Defines the time period by which traps are sent to the host. The Trap Frequency (1- 1000000) field can be defined only if multiple hosts are disabled. The default is 10 seconds.
