Usage Information

You cannot delete a physical interface.

By default, physical interfaces are disabled ( shutdown) and are in Layer 3 mode. To place an interface in mode, ensure that the interface’s configuration does not contain an IP address and enter the Port Channel Commands command. By default, the interface is shut down when the portmode hybrid and switchport are enabled.

The tunnel interface operates as an ECMP (equal cost multipath) only when the next hop to the tunnel destination is over a physical interface. If you select any other interface as the next hop to the tunnel destination, the tunnel interface does not operate as an ECMP.

Example

Dell(conf)#interface tengig 0/1
                                             Dell(conf-if-te-0/1)#exit#
