Nortel Networks 2300 Disabling or Reenabling a Port, Disabling or Reenabling Power over Ethernet

82Configuring and Managing Ports and VLANs

a WSS-2370 switch port and the device at the other end of the link must be the same. In addition, the other device must support full-duplex operation. When autonegotiation is enabled on a WSS-2370 switch port, the port advertises support for full-duplex mode only. Table 3 lists the supported configurations.

Disabling or Reenabling a Port

All ports are enabled by default. To administratively disable a port, use the following command:

set port {enable disable} port-list

A port that is administratively disabled cannot send or receive packets. This command does not affect the link state of the port.

Disabling or Reenabling Power over Ethernet

Power over Ethernet (PoE) supplies DC power to a device connected to an AP access port. The PoE state depends on whether you enable or disable PoE when you set the port type. (See “Setting the Port Type” on page 72.)

Caution! Use the WSS switch’s PoE only to power Nortel AP access ports. If you enable PoE on ports connected to other devices, damage can result.
