Thanks this will help tremendously. Any plans for a simple port status disable and re-enable from cloud? We can see them red in the port map already, but still need to remote in to change. We may have even overlooked it if there already is a way.

Hi Daniel, you can disable ports from Central by setting the port speed to "Disabled". That will show up on the switch port map as red after it syncs, and once we add the same conflict detection feature for port settings, then it should make the setting a bit more obvious in Central when a port is disabled locally.
