out-of-service
To put an interface out of service, use the out-of-service command in interface configuration submode.
To restore the interface to service, use the no form of the command.
Syntax Description
force
Defaults None.
Command Modes Interface configuration submode.
Command History Release
3.0(1)
Usage Guidelines Before using the out-of-service command, you must disable the interface using the shutdown command.
When an interface is out of service, all the shared resources for the interface are released, as is the
configuration associated with those resources.
Caution Taking interfaces out of service releases all the shared resources to ensure that they are available to other
interfaces. This causes the configuration in the shared resources to revert to default when the interface
is brought back into service. Also, an interface cannot come back into service unless the default shared
resources for the port are available. The operation to free up shared resources from another port is
disruptive.
Examples The following example shows how to take an interface out of service.
switch# config terminal
switch(config)# interface fc 1/1
switch(config-if)#shutdown
switch(config-if)# out-of-service
Putting an interface into out-of-service will cause its shared resource
configuration to revert to default

The following example makes an interface available for service.
switch(config-if)# no out-of-service
