Hi, 

I have a set of access switches (3750s), which are purely in a layer 2 setup, 
i.e. connect uplink to core 6509s, which are setup as root and backup 
spanning-tree roots. 

I need to connect another set of switches to the above 3750s in a migration, 
but would like to be able to test the physical layer before-hand to avoid 
surprises on the migration day. 

One "safe" way I thought I could do this interim step was to make the switch 
ports into routed ports, i.e "no switchport". This should clear off any 
spanning-tree hiccups when I'm doing a physical level test. Once this goes 
ahead ok, then I plan to shut down the ports and later configure them as 
standard L2 ports. 

Any comments? Is there any other way I can do such an interim test in a "safe" 
way, i.e without affecting other production traffic on the 3750s?
