Enabling and Disabling a Port
This procedure allows you to enable or disable a port. A disabled port
does not forward any ingress or egress packets. You may want to disable
a port if a problem occurs with the node or cable connected to the port.
After the problem is fixed, you can enable the port to resume normal
operation. You can also disable an unused port to secure it from
unauthorized connections. The default setting for a port is enabled.
