Port Disable/enable Script To Be Run On Switch

You are asking a lot.  I would recommend that you read the manuals and understand how to configure the switch before you attempt this.  You need a telnet script to connect to the switch and then send it commands.

The quick reference guide is here: http://h20000.www2.hp.com/bc/docs/support/SupportManual/c02586147/c02586147.pdf?jumpid=reg_R1002_USEN

What I will do is give you the basics but you will need to determine the final script configuration.  The script I am going to list is a PowerShell script.  It can be converted to a shell script or DOS batch with minimal effort.  Each line explains what it does.  The script is written for a cisco switch so the commands will need to be adjusted since I do not have a 3com switch here to try it on.

# Configure the Switch
# Carriage Return + Line Feed string
$CRLF = "`r`n"

#IP of the switch or machine
$IP = "192.168.1.1"

#Telnet Port
$Port = 23

# Create a Telnet Instance.
$Client = New-Object Telnet.TelnetClient

$Client.CommandPrompts = "#,>";
$Client.PassWordPrompt = "Password:";

# Connect to the IP.
$Client.Connect($Port, $IP)

if($Client.Connected) {

#Send enable
$Client.Send("enable" + $CRLF)

#Send Config t
$Client.Send("config t" + $CRLF)

#Disable the port
$Client.Send("interface gigabitethernet 0/1" + $CRLF)
$Client.Send("shutdown" + $CRLF)

#Enable the port
$Client.Send("interface gigabitethernet 0/1" + $CRLF)
$Client.Send("no shutdown" + $CRLF)

#Exit config mode
$Client.Send("end" + $CRLF)

#Save config
$Client.Send("write mem" + $CRLF)
