Example

simple

In the below example, we shutdown R1’s Fa0/0 interface and then enable the interface again.

R1(config)#int fa0/0
R1(config-if)#shutdown
R1(config-if)#
*Mar 1 19:17:34.339: %DUAL-5-NBRCHANGE: IP-EIGRP(0) 100: Neighbor 10.1.1.2 (FastEthernet0/0) is down: interface down
R1(config-if)#
*Mar 1 19:17:36.315: %LINK-5-CHANGED: Interface FastEthernet0/0, changed state to administratively down
*Mar 1 19:17:37.315: %LINEPROTO-5-UPDOWN: Line protocol on Interface FastEthernet0/0, changed state to down

R1(config-if)#do show ip int br

R1(config-if)#no shut
