Layer 2 Switching Commands 439
User Guidelines
When an interface is enabled for routing using the interface vlan command,
the port will no longer be operationally enabled as a protected port on the
interface. Likewise, making an interface a member of a LAG or a probe
(monitor session or RSPAN destination) port operationally disables port
protection.
Example
The following example configures Ethernet port 1/0/1 as a member of
protected group 1.
console(config)#interface gigabitethernet 1/0/1
console(config-if-Gi1/0/1)#switchport protected 1
switchport protected name
Use the switchport protected name command in Global Configuration mode
to adds the port to the protected group 1 and also sets the group name to
“protected”.

no switchport protected groupid name
• groupid — Identifies which group the port is to be protected in.
(Range: 0–2)
