switchport protected (Interface Config)
Use this command to add an interface to a protected port group. The <groupid> parameter
identifies the set of protected ports to which this interface is assigned. You can only configure an
interface as protected in one group.
no switchport protected (Interface Config)
Use this command to configure a port as unprotected. The groupid parameter identifies the set
of protected ports to which this interface is assigned.
show switchport protected
This command displays the status of all the interfaces, including protected and unprotected
interfaces.
Note: Port protection occurs within a single switch. Protected port configuration does not
