Usage
Information
The shutdown command marks a physical interface as unavailable for traffic. To
discover if an interface is disabled, use the show ip interface brief
command. Disabled interfaces are listed as down.
Disabling a VLAN or a port channel causes different behavior. When a VLAN is
disabled, the Layer 3 functions within that VLAN are disabled. Layer 2 traffic
continues to flow. Entering the shutdown command on a port channel disables all
traffic on the port channel and the individual interfaces within the port channel. To
enable a port channel, enter no shutdown on the port channel interface and at
least one interface within that port channel.
The shutdown and description commands are the only commands that you
can configure on an interface that is a member of a port channel.
