Utilizing the Command Line Interface
Ports can be enabled or disabled, configured for default settings, associated tables, clock rate,
priority group, and encapsulation, for example. Refer to the XSR CLI Reference Guide for more
details on Interface mode commands.

Enabling an Interface

The following command enables an interface.
