Service Manual

Usage Information
Use the default interface command to set a 10- Gigabit Ethernet or 40-Gigabit Ethernet interface to its
factory-default state. By default, a physical interface is disabled (shutdown) with no assigned IP address or
switchport (no ip address). This command removes all software settings and all L3, VLAN, VXLAN, and port-
channel configurations on a physical interface.
