Enabling and Disabling Ports
When you disable bridging at a port interface, you disconnect that port’s network from the 
bridge entirely. The port does not forward any packets, nor does it participate in Spanning 
Tree operations. Nodes connected to the network can still communicate with each other, 
but they can’t communicate with the bridge or with other networks connected to the 
bridge. When you enable bridging for the interface, the port moves from the Disabled state 
through the Listening and Learning states to the Forwarding state; bridge port state color 
codes will change accordingly.
To enable or disable bridging for an individual interface:
NOTE
In accordance with Year 2000 compliance requirements, NetSight Element Manager now 
displays and allows you to set all dates with four-digit year values.
NOTE
You cannot disable a backplane interface from the Device Logical View — since the 
backplane interfaces do not appear in the port stack. You must use the Device BackPlane 
Config View to disable the interfaces to the 6C105/6C107 backplane.
