E-Series legacy 
command
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.
