A disabled port's state is reported as
Link_Disabled
on status displays, and
the port can neither send nor receive packets.
Quiescing and Unquiescing Ports
Quiesce
operations allow you to cause a single port or a sequential range of same-type
ports (e.g., all async PAD ports from LP 1, port 0 to LP 4, port 3) to become disabled
when there are no active connections on the port(s). Once disabled, the port(s) will
remain disabled until enabled using the
when there are no active connections on the port(s). Once disabled, the port(s) will
remain disabled until enabled using the
Enable
operation, after which time a
Quiesce
must be performed again if that feature is desired.
Unquiesce
operations allow returning of one or more quiesced ports to a normal con-
dition (without waiting for them to become disabled).

While an X.25 dialout port is quiesced, it cannot receive alarms or file
transfers, or be used by another FRX/FRM to take remote control of the
node. Also, quiescing a range of ports has no affect on any port types within
that range other than the type specified.
