Description

This command administratively disables the entity. When disabled, an entity does not change, reset, or remove any configuration settings or statistics. Many entities must be explicitly enabled using the no shutdown command.

Unlike other commands and parameters where the default state is not indicated in the configuration file, shutdown and no shutdown are always indicated in system generated configuration files.

The no form of this command puts an entity into the administratively enabled state.

Special Cases

OSPF Protocol

The Open Shortest Path First (OSPF) protocol is created in the no shutdown state.

OSPF Interface

When an IP interface is configured as an OSPF interface, OSPF on the interface is in the no shutdown state by default.
