Managing the DECserver 90L+
Enabling and Disabling Ports
The SET command is used to enable and disable a port from operation. If the
system manager wants to disable a user’s port for security reasons, it can be done
through software using the command line mode.
The factory default is that all ports are enabled. Enabled port status will be
either OFF, LOCAL, or CONN. A disabled port status will be DIS. The port
status is shown in a show port screen.
