Shutdown more than 1 interface with a command

[mcardell]

Hi All,

What is the IOS command in the 4506 to shutdown or enable more that one port with a single command?

I do not want to go into each interface configuration and give "shutdown command" for each port!

Thanks

Matteo

You can use the interface range command

Here is an example from my lab switch

Switch#sh mod

Mod Ports Card Type Model Serial No.
