Disabling ports on RBS 50 while using wired backhaul
Hello,
I currently have a RBR50 with two RBS50's, one wireless and the other wired backhaul. I'm planning to move the RBS with the wired backhaul to my guest house. I want to keep one port open for the wired backhaul, and disable the other ports (to keep others from getting on my private network). I found one thread that had telnet instructions, but I don't think that will work for my use case. It seemed like those commands would disable all of the ports - which would prevent my wired backhaul. I have enabled telnet via the debugging page and am able to establish a telnet connection. I just need the commands to identify all of the ports and to be able to administratavely disable/enable them independently.
Thanks in advance for the help!

If no one comes up with a telnet command, you could install RJ45 port "locks". Here's a link to one brand:
