no shutdown interface configuration command.
To determine the link status to the PC, you can monitor the LED for the Ethernet management port:
The LED is green (on) when the link is active.

The LED is off when the link is down.
•
The LED is amber when there is a POST failure.
•
To display the link status, use the show interfaces fastethernet 1 privileged EXEC command.
