A bit of an odd thing. When I disable an interface on my EdgerouterX-SFP (1.85), it still works. I try both via shell using 'set interfaces ethernet eth4 disable' or via the web gui, but in both cases the pings through the port still work and the GUI even shows the tx and rx speeds, even though it has grayed the interface out and shows it as disconnected. Even after a router reboot, the interface still works.
Am I missing something obvious here? Although not needed often, I would like to know I can remotely shut a port down if I need to.
Thanks for any advice
