Abstract
A method for controlling a pluggable port on an interface board of a communication device, pre-setting; the process of controlling the port includes: the communication device receiving an external inputted password and verifies the received password according to a pre-set password; the communication device enables or disables the pluggable port according to the verification result. Also disclosed is an interface board with a pluggable port, the line(s) connecting with the pluggable module includes one or more switches, after verification by the above-mentioned method, control the pluggable port on the interface board to be enabled or disabled by controlling the switch(es) according to the verification result. The present invention can efficiently avoid the false or illegal use of the pluggable ports of the interface board, thereby guaranteeing the stability and reliability of the communication device and the communication network.
