Turning off a circuit without disabling its endpoints
The Set Circuit command enables you to turn off traffic going through a Frame Relay circuit
without disabling the circuit end points. This command prevents traffic from going between
end points, but does not disrupt the state of the DLCI. To display the support options, use the ?
option:
ascend% set circuit ?

set circuit active [name] Set the CIRCUIT to active
set circuit inactive [name] Set the CIRCUIT to inactive
To allow data to flow through a circuit, use the Active option. For example:
ascend% set circuit active circuit-1
• To turn off data flow without disrupting the state of the DLCIs, use the inactive option. For
