You can configure a port so that it sends a trap to a
network management application when the status of
the link changes (for example, if a device is
connected to or disconnected from the port), or
when the port partitions. You can also configure a
port to store the source address of frames received
by the port, this enables you to detect which
devices are attached to each port of the hub.
To configure a port:
1
From the
View
menu, select
Zoom In
to display the
representation of the hub.
2
Double-click on the port you want to configure.
3
In the Port
Configuration
dialog box, choose the
Info
category.
Quick Config Manager displays the Repeater Port Info
panel, as shown in
Figure 4-11
.
4
In the Repeater Port Info panel, select either Enable
or Disable for Port State.
If the port is part of a resilient link, you cannot enable
or disable the port. You must first delete the resilient
link, see
“Resilience” on page 4-33
.
