Shutting Down an Interface
Step 2 At the
Router# configure terminal
Enter configuration commands, one per line. End with CNTL/Z.
Router(config)#
Step 3 For a Cisco 7200 series, Cisco uBR7200 series, or Cisco 7100 series router, specify the
slot/port address of the first interface that you want shut down by entering the subcommand interface, followed by the type (serial) and slot/port (port adapter slot number/0). The example that follows is for a port adapter in slot 1:
Router(config)# interface serial 1/0
For a VIP2, specify the slot/port address of the first interface that you want shut down by entering the subcommand interface, followed by the type (serial) and slot/port (interface processor slot number/0). The example that follows is for a VIP2 in interface processor slot 3:
Router(config)# interface serial 3/0
Step 4 Enter the shutdown command as follows:
Step 5 To shut down additional interfaces, enter the slot/port address of each additional interface followed by the shutdown command. When you have entered all the interfaces to be shut down, press
For a Cisco 7100 series, Cisco 7200 series or Cisco uBR7200 series router, use the following example:
Router#
For a VIP2, use the following example:
Router#
Step 6 Write the new configuration to memory as follows:
Router# copy running-config startup-config
[OK]
Router#
The system displays an OK message when the configuration has been stored.
Step 7 Verify that new interfaces are now in the correct state (shutdown). To do so, use the show interfaces serial slot/port command to display the specific interface, or use the show interfaces command, without variables, to display the status of all interfaces in the system.
