Usage
Information
You cannot use the split ports as stack-link to stack a system.
The port must be in a default configuration before it can be split. As the 40G port is lost in the
configuration when the port is split, ensure that you remove the port from other L2/L3 feature
configurations.
The system must be reloaded after issuing the CLI for the change to take effect.
You cannot use this command if you use an LR4 optics.

To remove an interface from Layer 2 mode and place it in Layer 3 mode, enter the no switchport
command. If a switchport backup interface is configured, first remove the backup configuration. To
remove a switchport backup interface, enter the no switchport backup interface command.
Parameters
