Configuration Menu 108
Temporarily disabling a port
To temporarily disable a port without changing its stored configuration attributes, enter the following command at any
prompt:
Main# /oper/port <port number>/dis
Because this configuration sets a temporary state for the port, you do not need to use apply or save. The port state
will revert to its original configuration when the switch is reset. See the “Menu information” section in the “Operations
Menu” chapter for other operations-level commands.
