Chapter 4: Monitoring and Managing Your FN10

If you disable the port through which someone is remotely

!managing the FN10, that person will not be able to

CAUTION	communicate with the FN10. Use the LCM command
	addresses display to find the port number you are using to
	manage the FN10.

4.5.2 Enabling a Port

When you enable an Ethernet port that has been disabled, whatever bridging functions you had previously configured for that port are re-enabled.

To enable a port, or a range of ports, at the LCM prompt:

1.Type enable <PORT-RANGE>

For example, enable 7-9would enable ports 7, 8, and 9.

LCM responds:

Port 7: Enabled, Rip listening

Port 8: Enabled, Rip listening

Port 9: Enabled, Rip listening

Entering enable <port number> for an already enabled FN10

!port resets that port’s statistics counters.

CAUTION

NOTE

Rip listening means that the FN10 is in listening mode only. No RIP packets are created.

4.5.2.1 noRIP Option

The Routing Information Protocol (RIP) is one of the protocols that allows the FN10 to build an accurate, current routing table. This table includes the networks it knows about, the next hop, and the number of hops to get there. RIP enables you to use an NMS to remotely manage the FN10 through a router.
