Configure wired interfaces to enable or disable specific interfaces using CLI commands.

This task allows you to manage wired interface states by enabling or disabling specific interfaces as needed for your network configuration.

Configuring the wired interface is introduced from UIW Release 17.12.1 and this feature allows wire interfaces to be disabled. It is not possible to disable both wire interfaces at the same time.

Before you begin

Follow these steps to enable or disable wired interfaces:

Procedure

1.

Configure the desired state for a specific wired interface using the CLI command.

Example:

Device# configure wired <0-1>
 disabled disable wired interface
 enabled enable wired interface
2.

Apply the configuration to the interfaces.

Example:

Device# configure wired 0 disabled
Device# configure wired 1 enabled
Device# write
Device# reload

Note that you cannot disable both interfaces simultaneously. The following error will occur if you attempt to disable both interfaces:

Device # configure wired 0 disabled
Device# configure wired 1 disabled
ERROR: Interface wired0 is disabled, cannot disable both interfaces
3.

Verify the configuration state of the wired interfaces.

Example:

Device# show wired <0-1> config
Device# show wired 0 config
WIRED0 status: enabled
Device# show wired 1 config
WIRED1 status: disabled
