User Guidelines
The shutdown command set a value of ifAdminStatus (see RFC 2863) to
DOWN. When ifAdminStatus is changed to DOWN, ifOperStatus will be
also changed to DOWN.
The DOWN state of ifOperStatus means that the interface does not
transmit/receive messages from/to higher levels. For example, if you shut
down a VLAN, on which an IP interface is configured, bridging into the
VLAN continues, but the switch cannot transmit and receive IP traffic on the
VLAN.
If the switch shuts down an Ethernet port, it additionally shuts down the port
MAC sublayer too.
If the switch shuts down a port channel, it additionally shuts down all ports of
the port channel too.
Example
Example 1—The following example disables gi0/4 operations.
console(config)# interface gi0/4
console(config-if)# shutdown
console(config-if)#
Example 2—The following example restarts the disabled Ethernet port.
console(config)# interface gi0/4
console(config-if)# no shutdown
