Usage
Information
You cannot delete a physical interface.
By default, physical interfaces are disabled (shutdown) and are not assigned to an
IP address or switchport. To place an interface in Layer 2 mode, ensure that the
interface’s configuration does not contain an IP address and enter the switchport
command.
You can create up to 64 tunnel interfaces. The tunnel is added as a logical interface
with no default configuration. To delete a tunnel interface, use the no interface
tunnel tunnel-id command.
The tunnel interface operates as an ECMP (equal cost multi path) only when the
next hop to the tunnel destination is over a physical interface. If you select any
other interface as the next hop to the tunnel destination, the tunnel interface does
not operate as an ECMP.
Example
Dell(conf)#int tengigabitethernet 0/0
Dell(conf-if-te-0/0)#exit
Dell(conf)#
