This is an excerpt from Cisco's official certification guide for the CCN A 200 to 301 volume number one written by Wendell Odom and read by Kobe Harvey. As you might imagine, network engineers need a way to bring down an interface without having to travel to the switch and remove a cable. In short, we need to be able to decide which ports should be enabled and which should be disabled. In an odd turn of phrase, Cisco uses two interface sub commands to configure the idea of administratively enabling and disabling an interface, the shutdown command to disable and the no shutdown command to enable while the no shutdown command might seem like an odd command to enable an interface. At first, you will use this command a lot in the lab and it will become second nature. Most people in fact use the abbreviations shut and no shut.
