shutdown

Places a shutdown command in the interface definition block of the running configuration.

shutdown
 
no shutdown
 

Must be in interface configuration mode (config-if), which requires privileged-level access.

Use once per interface.

Interface is not shutdown.

The shutdown command renders the interface inactive without removing it form the configuration.

The no form of the command removes the shutdown command from the interface block of the running configuration, thereby restoring the previously shut-down interface to active status.

See also the neighbor shutdown command.
