Disabling and Restarting Ethernet Interfaces

You can shut down and restart an Ethernet interface. This action disables all of the interface functions
and marks the interface as being down on all monitoring displays. This information is communicated to
other network servers through all dynamic routing protocols. When shut down, the interface is not
included in any routing updates.
To disable an interface, perform this task:
Command
Step 1
switch# configure terminal
Step 2
switch(config)# interface type slot/port
Step 3
switch(config-if)# shutdown
The following example shows how to disable an Ethernet port:
switch# configure terminal
switch(config)# interface ethernet 1/4
switch(config-if)# shutdown
To restart an interface, perform this task:
Command
switch(config-if)# no shutdown
The following example shows how to restart an Ethernet interface:
switch# configure terminal
switch(config)# interface ethernet 1/4
switch(config-if)# no shutdown
