setting an interface back to defaults?

[jimmcgrady]

On a 6500 switch running ios 12.2, is there a way of clearing all config settings for a specified interface?  I want to avoid going through and having to type "no blah blah etc" for each line.

(config)#default interface

Try this.

Thanks

(config-if)#default interface

Using NO commands will not bring the interface to default. For example, some switch models have no shutdown as default, other models have shutdown as default.

As mentioned before, using the command:

(config)#default interface 

you will bring the interface to the default configuration. Please note that this command is a macro inside the IOS, and you can create your own macros.

The command even allows you specify which interface (this was actually from packet tracer). Note that on some models the commands may not work

Switch(config)#default interface ?

     Ethernet IEEE 802.3

     FastEthernet FastEthernet IEEE 802.3

     GigabitEthernet GigabitEthernet IEEE 802.3z

     Vlan Catalyst Vlans

     range interface range command

Switch(config)#default interface fa0/1

Building configuration...

Apparently, if for example if you have changed the speed to an interface for example:

Switch(config)#int fa0/1

Switch(config-if)#speed 10

To bring the interface back to its default you can issue the command:

Switch(config-if)#no speed

May need some research this.
