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 c 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, you must enter no 
shutdown on the port channel interface and at least one interface within that port channel. 
The 
shutdown c and description commands are the only commands that you can configure on 
an interface that is a member of a port channel.
