out-of-service Chapter 17 O Commands Send documentation comments to [email protected] out-of-service To put an interface out of service, use the out-of-service command in interface configuration submode. To restore the interface to service, use the no form of the command. out-of-service [force] no out-of-service [force] Syntax Description force Configures the interface that should be forced out of service. Defaults None. Command Modes Interface configuration submode. Command History Release 3.0(1) Modification This command was introduced. Usage Guidelines Before using the out-of-service command, you must disable the interface using the shutdown command. When an interface is out of service, all the shared resources for the interface are released, as is the configuration associated with those resources. Caution Taking interfaces out of service releases all the shared resources to ensure that they are available to other interfaces. This causes the configuration in the shared resources to revert to default when the interface is brought back into service. Also, an interface cannot come back into service unless the default shared resources for the port are available. The operation to free up shared resources from another port is disruptive. Examples The following example shows how to take an interface out of service. switch# config terminal switch(config)# interface fc 1/1 switch(config-if)#shutdown switch(config-if)# out-of-service Putting an interface into out-of-service will cause its shared resource configuration to revert to default Do you wish to continue(y/n)? [n] The following example makes an interface available for service. switch(config-if)# no out-of-service 17-24 Cisco MDS 9000 Family Command Reference OL-16217-01, Cisco MDS SAN-OS Release 3.x
