GS108Tv2 disable a port
Is it possible to disable a port on a GS108Tv2 SmartSwitch? I've looked in the obvious settings with no luck.
In Switching -> Ports -> Port Configuration ... select the port to disable, select the Admin Mode from Enabled to Disabled and [Apply] as seen in the RT*M:
Not a secret, and worth mentioning - in case you are using a modern browser, sone of the controls might be invisible (as in the left browser window on the attached screenshot). Use e.g. an Internet Explorer - other browsers like Chrome, Firefox or Edge don't render it (here e.g. a GS510TP btw.).
bradleyv LaurentMa how is it possible the legacy UI (many devices were or are still in the sales channel) was not fixed for current browsers? Several other controls are not properly working anymore here - ways beyond of the Java based Device View. Pretty poor maintenance.... Not everybody has systems with IE at hand!
PS: Using the Maitenance Tab does revert to the main switch view here, System -> Management -> System Information ... which does not load either.

Yep, tried that first. The port showed up as 'Disabled', but the laptop I had connected to the port I disabled could still get to the internet. I'm looking for a way to disable the port so devices attached to it can't connect.
