Turning Off and Turning On Interfaces
All interfaces are enabled by default. If you disable or reenable the interface within a context, only that
context interface is affected. But if you disable or reenable the interface in the system execution space,
then you affect that VLAN interface for all contexts.
To disable an interface or reenable it, perform the following steps:
To enter the interface configuration mode, enter the following command:
Step 1
hostname(config)# interface {vlan number | mapped_name}
In multiple context mode in a context, enter the mapped name if one was assigned using the
allocate-interface command.
To disable the interface, enter the following command:
Step 2
hostname(config)# shutdown
To reenable the interface, enter the following command:
Step 3
hostname(config)# no shutdown
