Switch port lock?

[Travis Roy]

These are managed switches. Management would like ot keep unused ports 
available for "emergencies" and not have to go into the switch 
management feature to enable the port in a hurry.

We are currently setting up vlans as well to hopefully fix the issues 
we're having, but turning off or limiting switch ports to a mac address 
is not an option :(

That's why i asked about this physical option.
