Disabling a Physical Interface

You can disable a physical interface, marking it as being down, without removing the interface configuration statements from the configuration. To do this, include the disable statement at the [edit interfaces interface-name] hierarchy level:

[edit interfaces interface-name]
disable;

Example: Disabling a Physical Interface

Disable a physical interface:

[edit interfaces]
so-1/1/0 {
mtu 8000;
clocking internal;
encapsulation ppp;
sonet-options {
fcs 16;
}
unit 0 {
family inet {
address 172.16.0.0/12 {
destination 172.16.0.4;
}
}
}
}
[edit interfaces]
user@host# set so-1/1/0 disable
[edit interfaces]
user@host# show so-1/1/0
so-1/1/0 {
disable;# Interface is marked as disabled
mtu 8000;
clocking internal;
encapsulation ppp;
sonet-options {
fcs 16;
}
unit 0 {
family inet {
address 172.16.0.0 {
destination 172.16.0.3;
}
}
}
}
