Modifying Switch Configuration Attributes
When you modify switch attributes, you may need to perform a PRAM Sync to 
synchronize the configuration information between switch PRAM and the NMS 
database. See the Navis EMS-CBGX Getting Started Guide for information about 
using PRAM features.
Non-Disruptive Logical Port and Trunk Attributes 
Certain logical port and trunk attributes are defined as non-disruptive. When you 
modify any of these attributes on a CBX 3500, CBX 500, or GX 550 switch, the NMS 
sends the appropriate SNMP SET commands to the switch without bringing down the 
logical port. Switch PRAM and the NMS database are synchronized automatically, 
without interrupting network traffic. 
Non-disruptive attributes appear in bold italicized text on Navis EMS-CBGX dialog 
boxes.
Table 2-6 lists the non-disruptive logical port and trunk attributes, with references to 
additional information. This guide does not illustrate all the dialog boxes that can 
display these attributes.
Note  – When you modify any attributes other than non-disruptive attributes, the NMS 
will bring down the logical port.
