Information
The port must be in a shutdown state to change from LAN mode to WAN mode and
vice-versa as shown in the figure below.
For E-Series ExaScale systems, you must configure all the ports in a port-pipe to either
WANPHY or non-WANPHY. They cannot be mixed on the same port-pipe.
Example
interface TenGigabitEthernet 13/0
no ip address
no shutdown
