Using the ADMINISTRATIVE Mode Screen
In addition to displaying the operational status of ring ports, the
ADMINISTRATIVE mode screen provides you with two methods for
controlling access to them:
• Bypassing ports.
• Enabling and Disabling ports.
When you bypass a module, or device, you not only remove it from the
Token Ring to which it was previously attached, but you also establish a
separate, or stand-alone, Token Ring composed only of the terminals
attached to the ports on the bypassed module.
This capability is useful, for example, when you want to establish a
secondary ring to run at a slower data transmission speed, or for
segregating a user group sharing a common application, or for security
reasons.
Enabling or disabling ports simply turns them on and off.
Figure 4-11. CHASSIS STATUS VIEW (ADMINISTRATIVE) Screen
To enable and disable select ports:
1. Highlight the port status fields showing either ON or OFF.
