Descriptions

On Phoenix Contact mGuard Devices versions before 8.8.3 LAN ports get functional after reboot even if they are disabled in the device configuration. For mGuard devices with integrated switch on the LAN side, single switch ports can be disabled by device configuration. After a reboot these ports get functional independent from their configuration setting: Missing Initialization of Resource

En Phoenix Contact mGuard Devices versiones anteriores a 8.8.3, los puertos LAN funcionan después del reinicio, inclusive si están desactivados en la configuración del dispositivo. Para los dispositivos mGuard con switch integrado en el lado de la LAN, los puertos switch únicos pueden ser desactivados mediante la configuración del dispositivo. Después de un reinicio, estos puertos se vuelven funcionales independientemente de su configuración: Falta la Inicialización del Recurso
