This example shows how to enable the debounce timer and set the debounce time to 1000 milliseconds
for an Ethernet interface:
switch# configure terminal
switch(config)# interface ethernet 1/4
switch(config-if)# link debounce time 1000
This example shows how to disable the debounce timer for an Ethernet interface:
switch# configure terminal
switch(config)# interface ethernet 1/4
switch(config-if)# link debounce time 0
This command can only be applied to a physical Ethernet interface.

Configuring the Description Parameter

To provide textual interface descriptions for the Ethernet ports, perform this task:
Command
Step 1
switch# configure terminal
Step 2
switch(config)# interface type slot/port
Step 3
switch(config-if)# description test
This example shows how to set the interface description to "Server 3 Interface."
switch# configure terminal
switch(config)# interface ethernet 1/3
switch(config-if)# description Server 3 Interface

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
