Usage Guidelines
The shutdown/no shutdown port state is independent of the block/no block port state. If a port is
shutdown, unblocking that port will not initialize the port.
You cannot block or prohibit CUP port (0XFE).
If you prohibit ports, the specified ports are prevented from communicating with each other.
Unimplemented ports are always prohibited.
Examples The following example disables a port address and retains it in the operationally down state.
