set port
Administratively disables or reenables a port.
Syntax set port {enable | disable} port-list
Defaults All ports are enabled.
Access Enabled.
History Introduced in MSS Version 1.0.
Usage A port that is administratively disabled cannot send or receive packets. This command does
not affect the link state of the port.
Examples The following command disables port 16:
MX# set port disable 16
success: set "disable" on port 16
The fol1owing command reenables the port:
MX# set port enable 16
success: set "enable" on port 16
See Also reset port on page 5-51
set port-group
Configures a load-sharing port group. All ports in the group function as a single logical link.
Syntax set port-group name group-name port-list mode {on | off}
Defaults Once configured, a group is enabled by default.
Access Enabled.
History Introduced in MSS Version 1.0.
Usage Do not use dashes or hyphens in a port group name. If you do, MSS does not display or save
the port group.
You can configure up to 16 ports in a port group, in any combination of ports. The port numbers do not
need to be contiguous and you can use 10/100 Ethernet ports and gigabit Ethernet ports in the same
port group.
After adding a port to a port group, you cannot configure port parameters on the individual port.
Instead, change port parameters on the entire group. Specify the group name instead of an individual
port name or number in port configuration commands.
