Enable / Disable Port in CLI

Mon Jul 31, 2017 5:38 pm

I'm trying to enable a port from the serial console CLI. :headb:

It made sense to me that there should be something under...

configure
interface port 5

...but invoking the ? help at that point doesn't reveal any command that looks like it would enable / disable a port.

Worst case is there a way using touch or something under the Linux command shell?

I've tried searching the forum with no luck so I've had to resort to asking. :???:

You could remove all vlan from a port. That would disable the port. Maybe not the best option but can't figure something else for now.

Disable
Code: Select all
ws12# configure
ws12(config)# interface port 5
ws12(port 5)# shutdown
ws12(port 5)# exit
ws12(config)# exit
% Applying configuration...
Press ENTER to confirm configuration change. If you do not hit enter within 60 seconds the switch will revert to the previous configuration.

You can do anything in the CLI as in the UI

There is help all through the CLI, you just have to use the "help" or "?"
Support is handled on the Forums not in Emails and PMs.
Before you ask a question use the Search function to see it has been answered before.
To do an Advanced Search click the magnifying glass in the Search Box.

Thanks to jakematic now I get it Image

I did use the online help and IIRC, I did actually try 'shutdown' and 'no shutdown' but didn't realize that it wouldn't take immediate effect so it didn't seem to do anything.

It's been one of those weeks already... :willy:

Cisco like. I should have connected to a CLI but didn't check this out before answering :mrgreen: .
