This command creates a text description for a configuration context to help identify the content in the configuration file.
The no form of this command removes any description string from the context. For the serial context, the no form of this command restores the default value.
‟DS0GRP” (for the serial context and the voice context)
‟Discrete Digital Input” for digital input (for Auxiliary Alarm card or chassis alarm inputs), ‟Analog Input” for analog input, and ‟Digital Output Relay” for output (for Auxiliary Alarm card)
n/a for others
description character string. Allowed values are any string up to 80 or 160 characters long (depending on the command) composed of printable, 7-bit ASCII characters. If the string contains special characters (#, $, spaces, etc.), the entire string must be enclosed within double quotes.

This command administratively disables an entity. When disabled, an entity does not change, reset, or remove any configuration settings or statistics.
The operational state of the entity is disabled as well as the operational state of any entities contained within. Many objects must be shut down before they can be deleted.
When used with the ethernet>efm-oam command, shutdown enables tunneling on the port (see tunneling), and no shutdown enables Ethernet EFM OAM 802.3ah.
The no form of this command administratively enables an entity.
The config>port>shutdown command does not remove power on ports that are Power over Ethernet (PoE/PoE+) capable. You must use the config>port>ethernet>no poecommand to turn the power off; see poe for more information.

mda – no shutdown
port – shutdown
scada – shutdown
scada>branch – no shutdown
input – no shutdown (for Auxiliary Alarm card and chassis alarm inputs)
alarm – shutdown (for Auxiliary Alarm card)
output – shutdown (for Auxiliary Alarm card)
lag – shutdown
