MSFC Command-Line Interface
Viewing and Saving the Cisco IOS Configuration
To view and save the configuration after you make changes, perform this task:
Bringing Up an MSFC Interface
In some cases, an MSFC interface might be administratively shut down. You can check the status of an
interface using the show interface command.
Note In a redundant supervisor engine setup, if an interface on one MSFC is shut down, the matching VLAN
interface on the redundant MSFC will stop forwarding packets. Therefore, you should manually shut
down the matching interface on the redundant MSFC.
To bring up an MSFC interface that is administratively shut down, perform this task in privileged mode:
Task Command
Step 1
If you are in the switch CLI, enter
the MSFC CLI.

Step 2

Step 3

enter global configuration mode.

Step 4

Task Command
