I remember reading about this here a while back but couldn't find it in my archives.
I really like CatOS for its ability to change a group of ports all at once. The feature is now available in IOS (well, it's probably been there for a while). Who knows... it may save a little time in the lab. I did this on a 3550-24: Switch(config)#int range f0/1 -24 Switch(config-if-range)#no shut Switch(config-if-range)# 1w0d: %LINEPROTO-5-UPDOWN: Line protocol on Interface FastEthernet0/1, changed state to down 1w0d: %LINEPROTO-5-UPDOWN: Line protocol on Interface FastEthernet0/2, changed state to down 1w0d: %LINEPROTO-5-UPDOWN: Line protocol on Interface FastEthernet0/3, changed state to down 1w0d: %LINEPROTO-5-UPDOWN: Line protocol on Interface FastEthernet0/4, changed state to down 1w0d: %LINEPROTO-5-UPDOWN: Line protocol on Interface FastEthernet0/5, changed state to down 1w0d: %LINEPROTO-5-UPDOWN: Line protocol on Interface FastEthernet0/6, changed state to down 1w0d: %LINEPROTO-5-UPDOWN: Line protocol on Interface FastEthernet0/7, changed state to down 1w0d: %LINEPROTO-5-UPDOWN: Line protocol on Interface FastEthernet0/8, changed state to down 1w0d: %LINEPROTO-5-UPDOWN: Line protocol on Interface FastEthernet0/9, changed state to down 1w0d: %LINEPROTO-5-UPDOWN: Line protocol on Interface FastEthernet0/10, changed state to down 1w0d: %LINEPROTO-5-UPDOWN: Line protocol on Interface FastEthernet0/11, changed state to down 1w0d: %LINEPROTO-5-UPDOWN: Line protocol on Interface FastEthernet0/12, changed state to down 1w0d: %LINEPROTO-5-UPDOWN: Line protocol on Interface FastEthernet0/13, changed state to down 1w0d: %LINEPROTO-5-UPDOWN: Line protocol on Interface FastEthernet0/14, changed state to down 1w0d: %LINEPROTO-5-UPDOWN: Line protocol on Interface FastEthernet0/15, changed state to down 1w0d: %LINEPROTO-5-UPDOWN: Line protocol on Interface FastEthernet0/16, changed state to down 1w0d: %LINEPROTO-5-UPDOWN: Line protocol on Interface FastEthernet0/17, changed state to down 1w0d: %LINEPROTO-5-UPDOWN: Line protocol on Interface FastEthernet0/18, changed state to down 1w0d: %LINEPROTO-5-UPDOWN: Line protocol on Interface FastEthernet0/19, changed state to down 1w0d: %LINEPROTO-5-UPDOWN: Line protocol on Interface FastEthernet0/20, changed state to down 1w0d: %LINEPROTO-5-UPDOWN: Line protocol on Interface FastEthernet0/21, changed state to down 1w0d: %LINEPROTO-5-UPDOWN: Line protocol on Interface FastEthernet0/22, changed state to down 1w0d: %LINEPROTO-5-UPDOWN: Line protocol on Interface FastEthernet0/23, changed state to down 1w0d: %LINEPROTO-5-UPDOWN: Line protocol on Interface FastEthernet0/24, changed state to down Switch(config-if-range)# Switch(config-if-range)# Switch(config-if-range)#exit Switch(config)#exit Switch# I found this information at: http://www.cisco.com/en/US/products/hw/switches/ps700/products_tech_note09186a00800a93ed.shtml Way too much fun.
