Setting the Interface Admin Status
The Admin Status button lets you enable, disable, or test the current interface. The
operational states of these three options are:
Enable The interface will be ready to pass packets.
Disable The interface will be in a closed state.
Test The interface will be in some test mode and no operational
packets can be passed.
To use the Admin Status button:
1. Click on the Admin Status button. The Administration Status drop-down
menu displays.
2. Click on the appropriate option: Enable, Disable, or Test. If you choose
Disable, a warning window opens to indicate that you may lose access to the
device.
3. Click OK to disable the interface, or Cancel to nullify the disable command.
The current interface will now begin operating in the state you have selected.
