Re-enabling an interface

Re-enabling an interface
The violation action of violation shutdown or violation restrict have options that can be configured
to cause an interface to shutdown. If the shutdown option is selected, the following options can be
used to re-enable an interface.

Interface shutdown time

You can specify how long an interface remains shutdown when violation shutdown or violation
restrict is configured. For example, you can enter commands such as the following.
BigIron RX(config)# int e 7/11
BigIron RX(config-if-e100-7/11)#port security
BigIron RX(config-port-security-e100-7/11)# violation shutdown
BigIron RX(config-port-security-e100-7/11)#shutdown-time 60
Syntax: [no] shutdown-time <minutes>
Enter 0 – 1440 minutes, with 0 as the default. Specifying 0 shuts down the interface permanently
when a MAC Port Security violation occurs.

Manually re-enabling a interface

Once an interface is permanently shut down, an administrator must re-enable the interface by
entering the following command.
BigIron RX(config)# int e 7/11
BigIron RX(config-if-e100-7/11)#enable
Syntax: enable

If the violation action configured for an interface is the same as the action the interface is
currently inheriting from the global level, then the violation action for the interface is applied to
the interface. It no longer inherits the action at the global level.
