Temporarily disabling a port
To temporarily disable a port without changing its stored configuration attributes, enter the following
command at any prompt:
Switch# interface port <port number> shutdown
Because this configuration sets a temporary state for the port, you do not need to perform a save
operation. The port state reverts to its original configuration when the switch is reloaded.
Port link configuration
Use these commands to set port parameters for the port link.
Link commands are described in the following table. Using these commands, you can set port parameters
such as speed, duplex, flow control, and negotiation mode for the port link.
The following table describes the Gigabit Link Configuration commands.
