STOP PIF Command
Considerations

An active client (registered user) dependent on the PIF (through a LIF associated
with the specified PIF) can prevent the STOP PIF command from working. Use the
ABORT PIF command if you cannot remove the client dependent on the specified
PIF object.

For E4SAs, FESAs, GESAs, G4SAs, ATM3SAs, and TRSAs, active clients are
assumed to exist if the PIF and LIF objects are in the STARTED state.

Stopping a SAC does not cause subordinate PIFs to stop unless you use the SUB
ALL option. You must stop the subordinate PIFs before you can stop the SAC.
Also, when the SAC is restarted, the subordinate PIFs are not restarted
automatically unless you use the SUB ALL option; otherwise, you must issue
START PIF commands to restart the PIFs.

The STOP PIF command causes the access state of its associated LIF to change
to DOWN.

For adapters other than ATM3SA, if the PIF and the LIF associated with it are both
in the STARTED state, the STOP PIF will be rejected.
Examples
The following are examples of the STOP PIF command:
STOP PIF $ZZLAN.G11123.0.B
STOP PIF ($ZZLAN.G11123.0.A, $ZZLAN.G11123.0.B)
STOP PIF $ZZLAN.G11123.*
