• ProxySG Software - SGOS

Issue/Introduction

Until SGOS 6.6.2.x, the ProxySG appliance did not have a shutdown or disable command to shut down a particular LAN interface.

In SGOS 6.6.2.x and later, use one of the following options:

Use the interface number
 

#(config interface interface_number)

Syntax
#(config) interface interface_number
This changes the prompt to #(config interface interface_number)

Subcommand
#(config interface interface_number) disable
Disables the specified interface.

Note: You will not see a loss of connectivity warning message when using CLI to shut down a Management Console interface. If you lose connection to the Management Console, reconnect with an active IP address.

Use the aggregated number

#(config interface aggr_number)

Syntax
#(config) interface aggr:number
This changes the prompt to #(config interface aggr:number)

Subcommand
#(config interface aggr:number) disable
Disable the interface

#(config interface aggr:number) enable
Enable the interface
